The toddler was dubbed "Baby Grace" by investigators who worked to identify her decomposed remains after the body was found in a plastic container in October 2007 on a tiny island in Galveston Bay.
Trenor's 25-year-old husband, Royce Zeigler II, is to be tried separately on murder charges. His attorney points the finger at Trenor.
Prosecutors declined to seek the death penalty because they didn't think they could prove that either one would be a future danger, as required."

How horrible. I almost started crying when I read this and saw the girls beautiful face.
How can people do this? Sure, they may get frustrated with the kid but KILL them? How can you kill your child who is telling you that she loves you?
HOW HEARTLESS.
Please, don't mind me. I am awfully upset about this. I am going to college right now for child psychology so I can be a social worker for children. Child abuse really hits the spot for me.
The only punishment even remotely fitting for the ones who murdered this gorgeous little child is to be hung after they spend awhile in the prison's general population.
Anyone who would murder that little girl who is saying i love you does not deserve to live.
How the HELL can you kill your child as they are telling you that they love you? And that too at such a young tender age when they actually say "I love you" and mean it.

Oh, God! And they dont have other words to express their feelings - "Why is this happening, hug me again" -
I really hope the jail populations where they'll be assigned are watching this on TV...I hope they'll be waiting with big commentaries ready to act out.

Life sentences, oh yeah.
The facts always have a way of getting to the other inmates, especially where children are concerned.
