The father of three-year-old Brook Stagles will go on trial September 25th in connection with her death.
Trial was set today for Michael Stagles, who is charged with Criminally Negligent Homicide in his daughter’s death. His girlfriend, Erica Bell, is charged with murder for beating the little girl so badly that she died. She goes on trial September 11th.
Michael Stagles made an obscene gesture to news cameras waiting on his arrival at the hall of justice. One of the people with him pulled his hands down.
The Medical Examiner’s report on Brook Stagles’ death was released today. It lists “blunt force trauma to the abdomen” as the main cause of her death. She also had multiple bruises and injuries. Erica Bell is accused of causing those injuries and Stagles of knowing about it and doing nothing.
