Estranged daughter of Billy Bob Thorton Charged with Murder
OCOEE, Fla. -- A Central Florida woman has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of a baby she was watching in October 2008.
Amanda Brumfield, 29, is the estranged daughter of actor Billy Bob Thornton.
She was arrested Wednesday at about 6:15 p.m. and charged with first-degree murder for the unlawful killing of 1-year-old Olivia Garcia. Ocoee police said she was baby-sitting the girl last October when she called 911 to report that the child had hit her head.
Brumfield was also indicted on two additional counts -- one count of aggravated child abuse and one court of aggravated manslaughter of a child.
She is being held at the Orange County Jail with no bond.

Judge denies bond for Billy Bob Thornton's daughter
Prosecutors say Amanda Brumfield killed her 1-year-old goddaughter, whom she was baby sitting in Ocoee
The estranged daughter of actor Billy Bob Thornton will not be released from jail today, a judge decided at her first appearance this morning.
Amanda Brumfield, 29, was indicted Wednesday on charges of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse and aggravated manslaughter of a child in the death of a 1-year-old girl she was baby sitting in Ocoee.
Brumfield's lawyer asked that she be given a bond amount and allowed to leave the jail. The judge denied the request and ordered her to continue to be held at the Orange County Jail without bond.
She said nothing during her first appearance, but was shaking and frowning. At one point she appeared to be crying.
Brumfield was one of three people indicted Wednesday in Orlando on first-degree murder charges.
Ocoee police say Brumfield, the godmother of Olivia Garcia, claimed the baby fell out of a playpen. An autopsy completed in March concluded that the 28-inch fall could not have caused the skull fracture or bleeding of the brain that Olivia suffered on Oct. 3, leading to a coma and death the next day.
Prosecutors have not released what they think happened or given a motive.
Also indicted Wednesday was Jackson Fleurimon. The charge: first-degree murder with a firearm. Details of the case were not immediately available.
An Orange County Sheriff's Office detective testified, according to a grand-jury report.
The other indictments is sealed, so the identity of the person charged is not public. Indictments usually are sealed until a suspect is arrested.

Billy Bob Thornton's daughter will not be released from jail, yet
Judge wants medical examiner to explain bruises found on skull of child who died in Amanda Brumfield's care
An Orange County judge ruled this morning that Billy Bob Thornton's estranged daughter will not be released from jail until an expert witness can testify about evidence heard during today's pretrial-release hearing.
Amanda Brumfield of Ocoee was indicted last month on a first-degree murder charge and is being held without bond.
An Ocoee detective testified during the hour-long hearing that the medical examiner found six bruises on the child's head and a 3.5-inch skull fracture during the autopsy. Judge Bob Wattles wants Dr. Jan Garavaglia, the area's medical examiner, to explain more about the bruises before ruling if Brumfield will be released.
Brumfield's attorneys wanted her to be released from jail with conditions of GPS monitoring or home confinement, but that was denied until Garavaglia can testify as an expert witness.
Brumfield sat between her two attorneys and did not speak, but was shaking and crying. When her Jacksonville attorneys viewed autopsy photos, she refused to look at them and turned her head. People sitting in the courtroom who could see the photos began to cry.
Brumfield was watching her best friend's 1-year-old daughter, Olivia Garcia, last year when the girl died from a head injury. Brumfield said Olivia fell to the ground while straddling the top of her playpen, but appeared fine afterward. She died a short time later and her death was ruled a homicide.
Garavaglia ruled that a fall could not have caused the injuries that the child suffered.

Bond Set For Billy Bob Thornton's Daughter
Ocoee Babysitter Charged With First-Degree Murder
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A judge granted an Ocoee babysitter charged with first-degree murder a pretrial release.
The conditions of the release are that Amanda Brumfield, actor Billy Bob Thornton's estranged daughter, must post bond of $277,000 on three counts, surrender her passport, wear a GPS monitor and have no contact with the victim's family.
She's accused of killing the child while baby sitting her last October.
The Orange County medical examiner took the stand Friday in the case.
Orange County medical examiner Dr. Jan Garavaglia explains why she thinks, the child's death was not an accident.
"The information that I need is an explanation for multiple bruises and a skull fracture which go to the base of the skull. I don't have that explanation. I don't have a reason for this. That's classic for child abuse," Garavaglia said.
Brumfield said Olivia Garcia fell out of a crib last October. According to authorities, Brumfield text messaged the child's mother right away, but waited over two hours to call 911.
Her trial is scheduled for December.
