Patricia Blackmon
Age 29 years old when she committed the crime that landed her on death row. May 1999, in Dothan Alabama, Patricia Blackmon brutally murdered her two-year-old adopted daughter Dominiqua Bryant. She subsequently was found guilty and sentenced to the death penalty.
She recently appealed to the court on their decision, stating that she was not deserving of the death penalty. Her argument against her sentence included her idea that she possibly knocked the child unconscious before the entire brutal beating took place.
Dominiqua suffered multiple skull fractures, broken bones, and was beaten so badly a foot imprint was left on her chest.
Blackmon seemed to think if the child was unconscious she didn’t feel the pain of the subsequent blows and therefore she should receive a lesser sentence.
