CRIME NEWS

  • A jury awarded $11.2M to Seraphina 'Sera' Wilson, who was abused as an infant in 2009 and left blind with severe brain injuries that require full-time care—her father's live-in girlfriend, Alicia Hocter, was convicted and is serving a 30-year sentence—and the case shows that early warnings did not lead to needed protection.  KXLH
