A Grapevine, Texas, girl who killed an infant at a church has been sent to an adult prison because she misbehaved too many times at youth facilities. State District Judge Jean Boyd approved the transfer of 18-year-old Jennifer Henson last Tuesday after a one-day hearing. State officials said Henson has been cited for 323 incidents of misconduct since she was sentenced in November 2003 to 10 years in juvenile and adult prisons. She had pleaded guilty to the juvenile equivalent of capital murder. "She's a chronic disruption. She continually violates rules, and she's failed to progress on her treatment," said Leonard Cucolo, a youth commission court liaison. Henson's attorney, Mark Daniel, said his client is too immature for an adult prison. He said at times she was not given medication for her attention disorder. Henson said she accidentally dropped 3-week-old Trenton Robbins in August 2003 while she was watching him at Legacy Church of Christ in North Richland Hills. But an autopsy indicated he had head injuries consistent with a high-speed automotive accident or a fall of at least 50 feet. Henson's adoptive parents were providing foster care for Trenton, who died on the day he was to have been adopted. The youth commission can hold juveniles until they are 21. |
