A Victoria woman intends to plead guilty to the death of her infant daughter seven years ago.
In 2017, Kaela Janine Mehl was convicted of the first-degree murder of her 18-month-old daughter, Charolette, in September 2015.
The Crown originally argued at the trial that Mehl had killed her daughter in order to prevent her estranged husband from having custody of the girl. One juror reportedly smiled, winked and made hand gestures to the father's family during the trial, which Mehl's lawyer reported to the court sheriffs but not the judge.
