A video dedicated to Kelsey Smith Briggs, a beautiful and loving little girl who's life ended too soon, at the age of 2, because of child abuse.
Here's more on the case:
Kelsey Shelton Smith-Briggs (Oklahoma City, 28 December 2002 - Meeker, Oklahoma, 11 October 2005) was a child abuse victim.
She died at the home of her mother, Raye Dawn Smith, and her stepfather, Michael Lee Porter. Evidence indicated that Kelsey died from a blow to the
abdomen. In the final months of her life she had suffered at various times a broken collarbone, broken legs, and bruises on her face and body. However, while the injuries were not confirmed to be the result of abuse, her case was watched closely by authorities, including the courts. Her biological
father, Lance Briggs, was stationed at Fort Benning, Georgia awaiting separation papers when she died.
In March 2006, the Oklahoma state legislature passed the Kelsey Smith-Briggs Child Protection Reform Act.
Michael Porter was charged with murder and sexual abuse. In February 2007, he plead guilt
y to enabling child abuse, and received a 30-year prison sentence. He had previously been offered a 25-year sentence for murder, which he declined, stating that he did not directly cause the child's death. He filed for divorce from Raye Dawn Smith about a month after Kelsey died, and later testified
at Smith's trial, claiming that Smith was the person who killed Kelsey. The prosecutor, Richard Smothermon, stated during the trial, in response to Porter's answer, that he believes Porter killed Kelsey.
Raye Dawn Smith was charged with child abuse or, in the alternative, enabling child abuse. She
was offered a plea deal to one count of abuse stemming from an alleged spanking with a hairbrush, but she declined, claiming innocence. On September 10th 2007, she was convicted of enabling child abuse, and sentenced to 27 years in prison. She is seeking a new trial and has filed a 94-page brief, b
ased on numerous alleged irregularities in the original trial.
