A 21-year-old Mississippi mother was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on Monday after she admitted to repeatedly slamming her two-month-old daughter down onto the ground multiple times, killing her.

The district attorney called the crime “unexplainable and heinous” and witnesses watched the violent act take place on May 12, 2022, including the baby’s grandmother. Witnesses said Mikaylia Shaylynn Jolley was “grabbing a baby by the ankles and slamming the child.” Police received multiple 911 calls about the incident. When police arrived, they learned that after slamming her baby’s body, Jolley left the baby girl in the road and ran into the woods.

The baby girl, Khalysie Lashay Jolley was taken to the hospital where she died from her injuries two days later. Those injuries included brain swelling and bleeding, extensive skull fractures, a broken left thumb, a broken right elbow, abrasions, and hemorrhages to her eyes.

“Makaylia Jolley took Khalysie by the ankles, slammed her into the pavement multiple times, and then left her there,” Assistant District Attorney Kathryn Newman said, according to NBC affiliate WLBT of Jackson, Mississippi.

Rankin County Circuit Judge Steve Ratcliff sentenced Jolley after she pleaded guilty to capital murder. “She will die in prison one day,” he said.

Jolley claims that injuring her baby was an accident and she didn’t know why she had done it. According to WLBT, police believe she was using drugs that morning.

Originally, Jolley could have received the death penalty but she struck a plea deal that prevented witnesses, including her family members, from having to appear in court to retell and relive what they had seen.

“Law enforcement, the EMTs, the firefighters, there were innocent people. … The apartment owner witnessed it. The victim’s grandmother witnessed it. A truck driver witnessed it. A sweet lady who was going to call on a patient and just happened to be dropping by saw these terrible things,” Newman said. “I don’t believe you can ever get those images out of your mind.”

The murder of baby Khalysie was horrific and society is rightly outraged by it.

Meanwhile, voters in the states of California, Michigan, Ohio, and Vermont recently approved amendments to their respective state constitutions that allow the violent deaths of preborn babies up to birth. These babies are also horrifically and unjustly killed by starvation, dismemberment, and lethal injection. Yet, much of the country cheered as those amendments were approved.

In Washington, D.C., abortion is legal throughout pregnancy and therefore abortionists can financially profit from the brutal deaths of babies like Christopher X and Harriet. D.C. police have refused to investigate their deaths, considering these brutal killings to be completely legal.

More than half of all states currently allow dismemberment (D&E) abortion, the most brutal of all current legal procedures, in which the abortionist kills the preborn baby by tearing her arms and legs from her torso before crushing her skull.

Though Mississippi now has protections for preborn children in place, in May 2022 at the time of Khalysie’s killing, abortion was legal in the state.
