Billy Bob Thornton’s oldest daughter, Amanda Brumfield,  was indicted on Wednesday on charges including first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse and aggravated manslaughter. These charges for Brumfield stem from the October 2008 death of a 1 year-old girl while in her care. Read more on this story below.

Amanda Brumfield, 29, was booked at the Orange County Jail, and is being held without bail, reports the Orlando Sentinel.

When Brumfield was arrested this month, she told detectives that the little girl she was babysitting hit her head in a fall. Amanda Brumfield said she called for help more than two hours later after being unable to revive the child, said police.

The 1 year-old girl’s autopsy revealed a fractured skull and brain injury, leading the medical examiner to rule the death a homicide. Police said Brumfield’s explanation was inconsistent with the child’s injuries.

When Brumfield was arrested, a publicist for Thornton told CNN that the actor, 53, and his daughter are estranged, “and [he] has had no contact with her for quite some time.”
