His estranged daughter, Amanda Brumfield, has been found guilty of aggravated manslaughter of the death of a one-year-old girl in Orlando, Fla.

Amanda was convicted last Friday as per E! Online. In court she indicated the baby had tried to climb out of a playpen and hit her head. As for the defense's story, they argued her fall could have caused her death by aggravating an injury she already had endured.
