Pennsylvania Woman Sentenced In Death Of 8-Month-Old Daughter In Columbus

Franklin County Sheriff's Office

A Pennsylvania woman will serve 10 years in prison for the beating death of her 8-month-old daughter in Columbus. 21-year-old Evette Taylor was sentenced on an involuntary manslaughter charge as part of a plea bargain.  Prosecutors say Taylor and her boyfriend are liable for the February, 2015 death of Adriana Barker. But prosecutors have not said which person beat the child. The boyfriend, 23-year-old Quentin Jones, goes on trial next month on the same charge.
