~ Title Of This Image Is: A Black B*t*h From Hell Itself ~
ATLANTA (AP) — A woman has been sentenced to die by lethal
injection for starving her stepdaughter to death in an Atlanta
suburb in 2013.
Tiffany Moss, 36, showed no emotion as the Gwinnett County jury
delivered the death sentence Tuesday morning, according to the
Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
On Monday, Moss was found guilty of all counts, including
murder, cruelty to children and trying to conceal the death of
10-year-old Emani Moss by burning her body in a trash can.
Moss represented herself at trial and mounted no defense. She
made no opening statement or closing argument and called no
witnesses.
Her death sentence was the first handed down in Georgia in more
than 5 years.
At trial, prosecutors painted a damning picture of Moss, who
they said kept her young stepdaughter confined to a bedroom in
their Lawrenceville-area apartment, slowly starving her to
death.
A medical examiner described how Emani wasted away without food
or water and lived in waste in her own bed because she'd become
too weak to move. Authorities say she weighed just 32 pounds
when she died.
Prosecutors highlighted text messages sent by Tiffany Moss to
her husband, Eman Moss, during the time when Emani was being
starved. At least twice, Moss sent her husband pictures of meals
she had prepared for him and her own two children the couple
shared.
Prosecutors said it likely took weeks for Emani to die of
starvation.
After the girl's death, Tiffany and Eman Moss stuffed her
emaciated body in a trash can and set it on fire.
Eman Moss is serving life in prison without parole for his role
in the crime, after pleading guilty to felony murder in 2015 in
exchange for testifying against his wife.
Late Monday, jurors asked Gwinnett Superior Court Judge George
Hutchinson if they could go home to "sleep on" the sentencing
decision after reaching an impasse. The jury of six men and six
women agreed to the death sentence after resuming deliberations
@ 9 a.m. Tuesday.

Georgia woman sentenced to death for starving stepdaughter to
death--
Tuesday, April 30, 2019
It look a Gwinnett County jury less than three hours on Monday
to convict Tiffany Moss of murder and several other charges for
starving her 10-year-old stepdaughter, Emani Moss, to death.
On Tuesday, just after 10 a.m., the jurors delivered their
sentence: death by lethal injection.
The sentence comes as a victory for Gwinnett County District
Attorney Danny Porter, who announced his intent to seek the
death penalty early on in the case.
Porter reiterated that intent to the jury Monday afternoon,
following its guilty verdict.
"Our criminal justice system is based on an idea that you have
to pay, you have to submit to the law, depending on what crime
you commit," Porter said. "A parking ticket may cost you $10. A
speeding ticket may cost you more. A burglary is probably going
to cost you some years. But there are some crimes that are so
horrible, so heinous, the only balance you can pay is with your
life."
Moss was convicted, on the fourth day of the trial, of all six
charges brought against her: one count of malice murder, two
counts of felony murder, two counts of first degree cruelty to
children and one count of concealing the death of another.
While Moss sat quietly through the entire proceedings -- she did
not present any defense and made no attempt to cross-examine any
witnesses -- Porter and Chief Assistant District Attorney Lisa
Jones told the story of an evil stepmother who wanted to be rid
of her stepdaughter.
"Emani was nothing (to Moss); she was a nuisance, she was ugly,
she was nothing," Jones said during closing arguments on Monday.
"She was a pain, she was disposable, she was trash."
Through testimony from 18 witnesses, Porter and Jones impressed
upon the jury just how heinous the crimes against Emani were,
beginning with abuse in 2010 when Moss struck Emani with a brown
leather belt over and over again, sometimes with the buckle
side.
Moss, who pleaded guilty to child cruelty at the time, was given
probation, though it apparently had no effect on her, given
three-and-a-half years later, she starved Emani to death -- a
slow and painful process, Porter reminded the jury on Monday.
"In the final witness called by the state, (Medical Examiner)
Dr. (Michele) Stauffenberg talked about features of starvation
and the sequence of starvation," Porter said. "The first phase
is there's a loss of well-being, hunger pains and food cravings.
The second stage is apathy and fatigue and weight loss,
pigmentation changes in the skin ... a feral look, hypothermia.
(Then) extreme lethargy and mental retardation, nutritional
edema, immune suppression, infection, diarrhea and death."
As if the process of being starved to death was not horrific
enough, Porter and Jones emphasized throughout the trial, once
Emani finally died, Moss and her husband, Eman Moss, put the
girl in a computer room for a day or two before disposing of her
body.
When they were ready to rid themselves of the girl, Eman Moss
bought a galvanized trash can, but because Emani's body had gone
into rigor mortis, he and Moss had to break down her body --
Eman Moss testified on Thursday that the noises Emani's body
made as they duct taped her were "cracking sounds" -- until they
managed to fit the child into the metal can.
From there, they took her to a wooded area, doused her in
kerosene and set her aflame. When they realized her body
wouldn't burn as they wanted her to, they extinguished the fire,
put the the trash can in the trunk of the car and drove home.
Eman Moss drove to and from his two jobs the following day
before finally calling 911, while Moss took off with the
couple's two younger children. She ultimately turned herself in
to police.
'The evil that is within her'
In asking the jury to render a death sentence to Moss on Monday,
Porter said the 35-year-old was the mastermind behind Emani's
death.
"Eman came in, he pled guilty, he's serving a sentence of life
without parole. ... Is Eman a hero? No, Ms. Jones said it
exactly right: he's a murderer. He was part of it, but his part
was neglect. (Moss') part was intention," Porter said. "When you
really look at it, do you think that fool Eman could have really
come up with this plan? Do you really think he was the brains of
the outfit? No, he wasn't. He was seduced and enamoured and
under the influence of this defendant to the extent to which he
was willing to turn his eyes away from his own child, and he was
willing to go along with this horrendous scheme to dispose of
that baby."
Because of that, Porter charged the jury, they should return a
sentence of death -- not life with the possibility of parole.
"When you think about (life with the possibility of parole), let
me ask you this: do you think she's going to change? Do you
think she's going to rehabilitate?" Porter asked. "The answer to
that is no. She's shown you too much of herself, she's shown you
too much of the evil that is within her ... there will always be
that dark side, waiting to come out."
Porter made a similar argument against life without parole.
"A lot of people, like you and me, think, 'If I was put in
prison for the rest of my life and never, ever able to be
released out, that would be worse than the death penalty,
because I'd have to sit there every day and suffer and think
about what I did,'" Porter said. "But that's you and me; she's
not wired that way. She doesn't have that conscience, and the
reason I can say that with such confidence is the nature of the
crime. Who in the world conceives of, and executes, a plan to
starve a 10-year-old child to death? Think about that."
The only option, Porter said, which he ultimately convinced the
jury of, was death.
"What this defendant has really done is she has woken up every
day since September of 2013 when they moved into the apartment
and she's decided, 'I'm going to kill that baby,'" Porter said.
"She woke up the next day and said, 'I'm going to take care of
my kids, I'm going to take care of my house, I'm going to make
sure there's food in the house, but I'm going to kill that baby.
I'm going to kill Emani today.' For 60 days ... it was a cold,
calculated, every day you wake up and you go, 'I'm going to kill
her.'"
"Ladies and gentlemen, (Moss) isn't going to think about that,
she's not going to suffer for that, because it didn't bother her
for 60 days," Porter continued. "She decided Emani was going to
die, she decided how it was going to happen and she made it
happen. That is why I believe that this case does call for
justice, this case does call for a sentence that speaks the
truth as to punishment. I'm not going to say it's easy, but
sometimes doing the right thing isn't easy."
The jury took about an hour on Tuesday to deliver its sentence.
