CINCINNATI — A $1 million bond was set for a 23-year-old woman accused of killing her 4-month-old child.
Ja'nasia Green was arrested Oct. 27 on a murder warrant. On Nov. 3, a grand jury indicted her on three additional charges: a second count of murder, and one count each of felonious assault and endangering children.
Green's attorney asked for a reasonable bond, saying that she had no prior criminal record.
The prosecution said Green caused the death of her 4-month-old boy as an "approximate result of committing or attempting to commit felonious assault."
Police said investigators arrived at a home in the 1500 block of Jones Street around noon Wednesday for the report of an unresponsive infant. There, they pronounced the boy dead, investigators said.
In court, the prosecution said the coroner found multiple severe injuries to the boy, including blunt force trauma to the head, a brain hemorrhage, injuries to the child's ribs and a lacerated liver, which the prosecution said was nearly severed in half.
The Hamilton County Coroner's Office identified the child as Hassani George.
The prosecution also said that Green admitted to patting her son's back with a closed fist to assist with the boy's digestive issues before blacking out. Police believe she eventually punched the child to death during this black out, the prosecution said.
Green will report to the grand jury on Monday, Nov 6.
