A Louisiana<\/a> grandmother is facing a jury this week on first-degree murder<\/a> charges after prosecutors allege she forced her 4-year-old granddaughter to drink a lethal amount of whiskey as a “punishment.”<\/p>\n

Roxanne Record, 57, appeared in court<\/a> as prosecutors described the final moments of her granddaughter, China Record\u2019s, life in April 2022. Prosecutors said the child was forced to her knees and made to finish a bottle of Canadian Mist whiskey while her mother, Kadjah Record, allegedly looked on and did nothing.<\/p>\n

During opening statements, Assistant District Attorney Dana Cummings described the typical relationship children have with their grandparents, noting that China had the opposite.<\/p>\n

“China never had that because her grandmother never, ever took to her, never liked her, treated her differently than she treated the other children,” Cummings said, according to The Advocate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors alleged a “pattern of cruelty<\/a>” inside the Baton Rouge home, saying China was so marginalized that her siblings were conditioned to believe the 4-year-old was “stealing” when she tried to access basic necessities like food and water.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors said the punishment began when China took a single sip from a whiskey bottle left on a kitchen counter.<\/p>\n

They allege Roxanne Record then forced the child to consume the rest of the 750ml bottle \u2014 approximately 1.6 pints of 80-proof liquor.<\/p>\n

First responders found the child unresponsive at the family\u2019s Wallis Street home. An autopsy later revealed a blood alcohol content<\/a> of 0.680 \u2014 more than eight times the legal limit for an adult driver.<\/p>\n

The Baton Rouge Police Department did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.<\/p>\n

“She\u2026 just went on with daily life while she died,” Cummings told the jury.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, defense attorney Caitlin Fowlkes countered that while China’s death was a “tragedy that nobody should have to endure,” it was also an accident.<\/p>\n

She argued Record attempted to save the girl with CPR and said the state cannot prove the “specific intent” required for a first-degree murder conviction.<\/p>\n

If convicted of first-degree murder, Roxanne Record faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.<\/p>\n

The child\u2019s mother, Kadjah Record, is also charged with murder and is expected to stand trial later this summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
