Rusk County District Attorney Micheal Jimerson said on Dec, 2, 2008 13-month-old Amora Carson was robbed of her life and of her innocence. He apologized for what the jurors would have to endure during the trial.
He explained the murder was brutal, and the scene was one that gave law enforcement officials nightmares.
The affidavit alleges that after Blaine Milam killed the child, with the child’s mother Jessica Carson looking on.
Detectives said that Carson and Milam reportedly beat the child multiple times with a hammer and bit the child more than 30 times.
It was the worst crime scene anybody working the case had ever seen: the lifeless body of 13-month old Amora Bain Carson was found covered in blunt force trauma wounds and human bite marks, allegedly the victim of an attempted exorcism gone terribly wrong.
The child’s mother, Jessica Carson, 20, and Carson’s boyfriend, Blaine Keith Milam, also 20, both face capital murder charges and will be tried separately.
