ORANGE COUNTY, Fla.,None — The hearing in the case against Billy Bob Thornton's estranged daughter, Amanda Brumfield, was postponed on Tuesday after her lawyer was not in court.
Brumfield was in court, but her attorney did not show up. Her attorney had planned to argue a motion for acquittal, but the hearing was postponed to a later date that has not yet been set.
A jury found Brumfield guilty of manslaughter in May.
Prosecutors claim Brumfield failed to seek immediate medical attention after a girl she was baby-sitting fell and hit her head. The girl later died.
Her sentencing was supposed to be scheduled for Thursday, but now it has also been postponed to a new date that has not been set.
