“I have been a prosecutor for a long time, and I often say that I have seen it all. The horrors of this child abuse case defy that,” Worthy said. “The alleged actions of this defendant are among the most callous I have seen and hope never to see again.”
The mom was arrested Jan. 10 in an unrelated case in Cobb County, Georgia, on-line data present. She was awaiting extradition to Michigan on a homicide cost and different crimes.
Worthy stated Zemar’s father not too long ago turned conscious of the boy’s demise.
