Because she just got broken up with and was about to leave. She wanted to patch things up before she left, they sat there and talked for an hour while I truly believe she thought the car was running. Remember they were heavily on drugs. Then apparently he forgave her and asked her to have sex real quick before she left. It seems like in their drugged out state they lost track of time and once she realized the car was locked it was far too late.

They keep stressing the A/C was on, regardless if it was and broke down during that time ... who keeps a kid in a car for that long ???? Never see freedom again, she should have the same fate as her daughter suffered.
Good decision extremely proud of you sir 👏
Lady, you didn't love her. Who are you kidding? If you LOVED her, you would have TAKEN HER OUT OF THE CAR when you didn't leave! It's that simple.

Complete tragedy to kill this most vulnerable child because of your drug use and need to try to "keep your man." Poor girl. Now, she is in a glorified body in heaven. Now she has a perfect body, soul and mind. Fly high, sweet girl.
This woman did this deliberately and is so false when she gives her evidence. Nobody should show any sympathy.
Still sticking with the BS isn’t she !! She said that the air was blowing and it was cool or cold ? Wouldn’t she have been absolutely certain if she had just checked on the child once in those 6 HOURS ? If someone was going to take me out I would a lot rather them shoot me than to be in an oven until I die. At least it would have been a lot quicker. The jury got this absolutely right on both folks and I hope they enjoy the nice hot prison cell

Did not feed her or give her water or let her use bathroom as needed for 6 hours while sitting on porch. Just can’t let that go.

Should have done things differently you only get one chance in these situations her daughter is not with the living now
Why did she not leave child in house?

Let the ones that are guilty really admit there Wrongs. I Guarantee They will be given Real Mercy
I'm sure it was not intentional but the boyfriend asked to break a window and the mom said no. If I understand correctly, that occurred minutes after she was placed in the car. If at that point they broke the window, it could have saved her life. I'm really confused about why the daughter was left in the car for 5 hours beyond that.

Does anyone else 'think' 'maybe' perhaps the boyfriend said something along the lines of : " Hey chick, I can't be as sed to have your daughter with us all the time" and her being the excellent and devoted mother "may have" said: " no problem my love, I can fix that problem right now "?
You dont love your daughter lady
Cares only about herself.
Lmao i would understand all this shameless begging if she was facing a death sentence…
I know this is serious but I can't help but notice how these are the absolute worst CC's I've ever gone cross-eyed trying to read!
I don't care what anyone else says or thinks: I do feel sorry for her. Imagine, this happening to you. But things do happen, and sometimes even good people go wrong. It doesn't mean they don't regret their irresponsible actions. I believe she is horrified by the turn her sad life took. We can all pile on her for the poor child's death, and yes, she is responsible But believe me, she will see that child in the backseat suffering and dying for the rest of her own dying days.

I believe at one time she did love and care for her daughter. I don’t think she was always as careless as she was that day. I do believe the feelings of stress turned toward resentment toward Cristina and the drugs to cope with these feelings took the tragic turn. If She hadn’t used drugs, Cristina would probably still be here.

I am very sorry but I disagree, she is upset she is found guilty. She constantly abused her in this way. She chose meth over her child. Kept going outside and to "check on her" I pray she won't be able to hurt anyone else ever. Her daughter had no choice but to rely on her. Both the boyfriend and mother let her literally cook alive. No regard to this child. COOKED HER for over 4hrs and went to check on her twice only to find she was locked in? That's torturous. There are people who want children can't have them but this POS had them and killed one by gross neglect to say the very least. It was proven her mother left her there constantly or disappeared when a babysitter was there.
