A Georgia stepmother is set to become the state's only female death row inmate after she was convicted this week of starving her 10-year-old stepdaughter to death.
Tiffany Moss was convicted Monday in the 2013 death of her stepdaughter, Emani Moss, Gwinnett County District Attorney Daniel Porter told CNN.A jury found Moss guilty of torturing Emani, starving her to death and then, with the help of her husband, Eman, burned the child's body in a trash can, according to CNN affiliate WSB. At the time of her death, Emani weighed just 32 pounds, the average weight of a toddler, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
Tiffany Moss acted as her own attorney in the case, but offered no defense, called no witnesses and gave no opening nor closing statements, the station reported.Moss would be just the third woman executed in the state's history, Lori Benoit, a spokeswoman for the Georgia Department of Corrections told CNN.
