A former beauty queen once celebrated onstage in a rhinestone crown has reappeared in public under circumstances that could not be further from her pageant past.
Trinity Madison Poague, who is accused of taking the life of her boyfriend’s 18-month-old son, returned to court this week looking nearly unrecognizable from the woman who once competed in the National Peanut Festival Pageant.
