Timy Jo Griffin, 28, was set to go to trial in Massachusetts Tuesday in the death of Nazeir Phillips, who was found unresponsive at a Brockton home on December 5, 2016.
, according to the Plymouth District Attorney's Office.
Griffin was originally charged with murder and recklessness endangerment but pled guilty to a lesser charge of one count of involuntary manslaughter. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison. According to prosecutors, Griffin was watching the boy -- his then-girlfriend's child -- the day the child was found unresponsive. Griffin told prosecutors that the toddler was throwing a tantrum and fell off the bed.
However, doctors who treated the child said the injuries were not caused by a fall. Doctors said the victim had severe injuries and brain swelling and determined that he likely died as the result of “violent and extreme shaking and/or slamming."The child died of his injuries three days after he was found in the home.
