A Gwinnett County jury on handed down Georgia’s first death sentence in more than five years to a woman that was convicted of starving her stepdaughter.
After two and a half grueling hours of deliberation, the highly stressed jury of six men and six women sentenced Tiffany Moss to die by lethal injection. This was for starving 10 year old Emani to death. Moss showed no emotion as the unanimous decision was read for everyone to hear.

“At first and all last night,” Porter said, “I thought she had outsmarted us.” Maybe Moss had come up with a “brilliant strategy” to make jurors think she was unfairly undermatched as two prosecutors laid out the case against her, Porter said.
“The only other rational explanation is that she was resigned to whatever was going to happen,” he added. “She was going to let someone else inflict (her punishment).”
When asked for her thoughts on what had transpired, Gilbert said, “I think this ridiculous spectacle speaks for itself.”
