Actor's daughter killed baby
12 April 2012
The daughter of actor Billy Bob Thornton has been found guilty in Florida of child manslaughter.
Amanda Brumfield, 32, claimed her best friend's year-old daughter, Olivia Madison Garcia, hit her head falling while trying to climb out of a playpen while she was babysitting in 2008.
But prosecutors in Orange County, Florida, said it was "impossible" that a fall from that height would cause a three-and-a-half inch fracture on the girl's skull. Brumfield, who is estranged from Thornton, was acquitted of murder. She will be sentenced next month.
Her father has starred in many hit films, including Oscar-winning Monster's Ball, and was briefly married to Angelina Jolie.
