In October 2016, a devastating incident sent shockwaves through the community, leaving its residents in profound shock and anger. Benjamin Taylor, then 33 years old, stands accused of committing a horrific crime – the brutal r**pe and murder of 10-month-old Emmaleigh Barringer in the basement of her mother’s West Virginia residence.
As the trial unfolds, a bone-chilling 911 call has been presented to the jury, offering a glimpse into the horrifying events of that fateful day. Taylor is alleged to have assaulted and s**xually abused little Emmaleigh Elizabeth Barringer on October 3, 2016. Amanda Adkins, the victim’s mother and Taylor’s former girlfriend, awoke in the early morning hours to a nightmare. She discovered Taylor kneeling over her daughter’s naked and bloodied body, with his trousers undone.
Tragically, Emmaleigh succumbed to her injuries two days after this alleged assault. The charges against Taylor are grave, including first-degree murder, death of a child due to child abuse, first-degree s**xual assault, and s**xual abuse of a child by a person in a position of trust.
If found guilty, Taylor could potentially face a life sentence without the possibility of parole. The trial, now in its second day, has been emotionally charged, with Amanda Adkins bravely providing a harrowing account of the horrifying discovery in her own home. Her frantic 911 call was also played for the jury, capturing the distressing moments when she realized something was terribly wrong with her daughter.
