Billy Bob Thornton’s Daughter Indicted in Goddaughter’s Death

The estranged daughter of Billy Bob Thornton has been indicted on several charges in the death of a 1-year-old girl she was baby sitting in central Florida.

Amanda Brumfield, 29, was booked at the Orange County Jail on Wednesday. She faces charges of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse and aggravated manslaughter of a child.

Court records show she told investigators the infant who died in her care in October acted normally and ate bananas after she fell from a playpen and hit her head. But detectives believe Brumfield’s story is inconsistent with the girl’s injuries.

The child was her goddaughter.

An autopsy completed in March concluded that the short fall, estimated at about 28 inches in height, could not have caused the skull fracture and brain bleed that lead to the child’s death.

It was not immediately clear whether Brumfield had an attorney. A telephone message left at the jail was not returned Thursday morning.

Thornton’s publicist has said the actor hasn’t spoken to Brumfield for a number of years.

Prosecutors have not released what they think happened or given a motive.

Billy Bob is having phone sex with Angelina Jolie, while his daughter is beating babies with bananas. They aren’t dysfunctional at all.
