Trinity Poague, a 20-year-old former beauty pageant winner, was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 30 years for the brutal murder of her boyfriend’s 18-month-old son. The young woman, a student at Georgia Southwestern State University, killed toddler Romeo, known as J.D., in January 2024 while her partner, Julian Williams, was out picking up a pizza.
Poague faced multiple charges, including felony murder, child cruelty, and aggravated battery, and was just 18 years old when the crime occurred. Prosecutors argued that Poague had grown resentful of J.D. because she wanted to have her own child with Williams, which allegedly fueled her violent actions, reports Mirror UK.
