A Georgia woman has been sentenced to death by lethal injection for starving her 10-year-old stepdaughter to death and then burning her emaciated body.

The jury took less than three hours on Monday, April 29 to convict Tiffany Moss, 36, to all six charges against her including murder, felony murder, cruelty to a child, and trying to conceal a death, in the killing of her stepdaughter Emani. A day later the six men and six women delivered their sentence—ending the highly disconcerting trial that lasted four days, reported AJC.
