## Resource

Cedrick Britten stands trial for the fatal beating of his girlfriend’s three-year-old daughter, claiming he delayed calling police for over a day out of fear his ex-girlfriend would harm their unborn son. On the stand, he described seeing the child unresponsive, trying to help, only to be pushed away by Randle, who allegedly later wrapped the child in plastic and hid her in a suitcase. Britten testified he believed Randle would call authorities herself, but when police arrived days later, he feared implicating himself. His defense contrasts sharply with prosecutors’ evidence of texts showing he was emotionally distant and resentful. Randle, already convicted of murder and child abuse, faces life in prison. Britten says he testified to protect their newborn son, describing the horror of CPR and Randle’s violent reaction. Closing arguments are set for September eighth.
