Billy Bob Thornton's Daughter Found Guilty of Manslaughter

By Tracey Harrington McCoy Posted Jun 1st 2011 08:00PM

Billy Bob Thornton's estranged daughter has been found guilty of aggravated manslaughter of a child, the Associated Press reports. Amanda Brumfield was convicted last Friday in Orlando and will be sentenced in July.

The 32-year-old Brumfield was acquitted of first-degree murder and aggravated child-abuse charges.

Thornton's daughter had been facing a murder charge for the death of her best friend's daughter during a sleepover in 2008. Brumfield claimed the little girl fell and hit her head while trying to climb out of a playpen. Her defense suggested that fall might have aggravated a previous injury.

The prosecution said it was "impossible" for a fall like that to cause a three-and-a-half inch fracture on the back of the girl's skull and the bleeding and swelling found in her brain.

Whats that supposed to mean you bone smuggler? I guess you live somewhere with no crime? Do the world a favor and shut your penis holster. Now go back to your sister/mom she needs help holding your brother down for your uncle/dad. NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR ANYTHING FROM THE SHALLLOW END OF THE GENE POOL. FOOL!

No kidding! I live in Orlando and am never shocked to see my "hometown" on the national news every single night for some rediculous reason or another. Orlando has turned into a town of nothing but criminals, thugs, and drug dealers!

Good grief, it's a mug shot! Unless you are getting booked for some petty business, and you are Paris Hilton, the last thing you care about is your darn mug shot. Think they got a make up artist and hair designer waiting for you in booking?

The report is true something dosent fit the story, if there was a accident involving someone else, THEY should of came clean rather then to say it was the victum all alone . this is truly a sad story my prayer and humble apoligys to the mother of the victum.
