Aniya Day-Garrett murder trial: Dramatic testimony reveals pattern of disturbing alleged abuseBy Brian Duffy |
CLEVELAND,
OH (WOIO) - The prosecution put several witnesses on the stand Monday,
including day care workers and the father of the victim, all alleging a
pattern of abuse that was observed before Aniya Day-Garrett’s untimely
death.
Sierra Day and Deonte Lewis who are accused of aggravated murder in the death of 4-year-old Aniya.
A
day care worker, during emotional testimony, said Aniya came in one day
with a nasty cut on her nose. The worker asked Aniya what happened.
“She said ‘Mommy pushed me,’ and I said ‘Mommy pushed you?’ And she said
‘Down some steps, mommy pushed me.’ ”
On
another occasion, the day care worker noticed dried blood and blisters
on Aniya’s head. “She said ‘Mommy hit me, mommy hurt me.’ She just kept
saying over and over, ‘Mommy hit me, mommy hurt me.’ ”
The
day care worker at that point insisted the day care director call the
police. Aniya was eventually taken to Euclid General Hospital where
Cuyahoga County social workers and the police questioned Sierra Day.
