@crimeatyourfingertips: A 36-year-old mother in Alabama will spend just over a year behind bars for her role in the d3ath of her 14-year-old special-needs daughter, who di3d of blunt force trauma to the torso in 2021. Escambia County Circuit Court Judge ordered Jessica Bortle to serve a sentence of 1 year & 1 day for abus3. The court credited Bortle with 212 days already served. Bortle had initially been charged with 1 count of negligent manslaught3r & 1 count of aggravated child abus3 after prosecutors said she became angry at her daughter for acting out & responded by slamming a table into the girl’s abdomen while the child was confined to a hospital bed. But in July, a jury found Bortle guilty of batt3ry, a lesser charge than manslaught3r & child abus3, a lesser charge than aggravated CA. Following the verdict, Nobles vacated Bortle’s batt3ry conviction, saying the charge was “subsumed in the CA charge,” meaning the 2 offenses were merged into 1. Nobles also ordered Bortle to serve 3 years of probation following her release. The Pensacola Police Department responded to a call on July 21, 2021, from the District 1 Medical Examiner’s Office regarding a homicid3 at Sacred Heart Hospital involving a 14-year-old girl with a neuromuscular disorder. The medical examiner told police that the victim had been admitted to the hospital on July 8, suffering from a “closed head injury of suspicious origins.” She di3d in her hospital room 5 days after mysteriously suffering “massive injuries similar to those found on traffic crash victims.” An autopsy performed by the medical examiner showed that Jasmine suffered 2 fractured ribs & that her liver had been “ripped open due to blunt force trauma.” “[The doctor] described the liver as obliterated & that the trauma caused [Jasmine] to di3 within minutes of receiving the injury,”. At the time of the injury, Jasmine was confined to the bed in her hospital room & was accompanied by her mother, Bortle & her grandmother, Rose Mathis. Surveillance footage in the hospital hallway showed Bortle leaving her daughter’s room & “shaking & flexing her hand as if in pain” moments before hospital staff discovered her daughter was unconscious. Bortle initially lied to investigators, claiming she had no idea what could have caused her daughter’s injuries. She eventually admitted to striking the girl with a hospital table in a rage. “Bortle told me that while in the hospital room, Jasmine began to cuss at her because she was mad about color Crayons. Bortle became angry with Jasmine because she was cussing & the door to the room was opened,”. “Bortle slammed the hospital table into Jasmine’s abdomen & then leaned onto the table with her weight.” Bortle said she continued to lean into the table even after her daughter said she was in pain & “acknowledged the responsibility for causing the injury that kill3d Jasmine.” Investigators ultimately determined that Bortle leaned on the table with all of her weight for so long that she “ground the table into Jasmine’s liver, which caused the ‘obliteration'” the doctor described. Bortle told jurors it was an accident. She did not intend to harm her daughter. #crime #truecrime #crimetoks #crimejunkie #crimetiktoks #truecrimetok #crimetiktok #crimejunkies #truecrimetiktok #crimetok #crimestories #crimestories #truecrimetiktoker
