After the arrival of the aid team, the baby’s breathing was restored, but at the hospital it was determined that she would probably not survive beyond the next 72 hours due to considerable damage to her brain. Indeed, the baby died a few hours later. An autopsy after death, along with the fact that there was significant brain damage, proved that the babysitter’s claim of coughing and suffocation is simply not possible and all the facts point to violent shaking.

According to the investigators’ testimony, during the questioning, Carmona did not express a shadow of sympathy towards the baby and when she was told that she would not survive, she only responded with “Ah”. Moreover, Carmona was asked to demonstrate to the investigators with the help of a doll how she held and cared for the baby, and indeed it was soon possible to conclude that Carmona, who has no professional training of any kind in relation to the care of toddlers, did not support the baby’s head at all and even shook her in a dangerous and violent manner.
