Clenching a framed photograph of her great-niece Millie, pacing back and forth and finalizing her thoughts before she spoke in court, Francine Smith appeared pumped up, ready to hear the final verdict. Buttoned upon her chest laid her great-niece’s photo that was murdered last September.
.
Millie Smith, an 11-month old baby, was murdered by her father, Littleton Jackson, last year.
.
Jackson was sentenced to life in prison with no parole, convicted of first-degree intentional homicide.
.
The District Attorney Kevin Shomin stated Jackson admitted to police he was drunk and attacked Millie on Sept. 25, biting the child’s face and pummeling her. Sherona Smith, Millie’s mother, returned to the home that she shared with Jackson, finding Millie on the floor and Jackson shirtless with blood around his neck.
