flag Tyler Witham-Jordan faces a second trial in Maine over the 2022 death of 3-year-old Makinzlee Handrahan, accused of murder by depraved indifference.

flag Tyler Witham-Jordan, 31, faces a second trial in Maine on charges of depraved indifference murder in the 2022 death of 3-year-old Makinzlee Handrahan, found dead in her bed on Christmas morning. flag Prosecutors allege he beat her with a hairbrush, dragged her to her bed, and left her in a cold bedroom with an open window and fan running, citing text messages showing his agitation after buying counterfeit drugs, emergency responder testimony, and forensic evidence including a broken hairbrush with her hair. flag They argue the child’s mother, Faith Lewis, is a victim, with no DNA found on key evidence. flag Defense attorneys deny any link to the crime, citing lack of direct evidence, no motive, and questioning Lewis’s credibility, while noting a prior mistrial was declared after jurors were disturbed by images of the child’s injuries. flag The trial, expected to last over a week, follows prior concerns from child protective services about unexplained bruises and injuries months before the death.
