Trial is scheduled in Wayne County for a Southfield woman accused of killing her friend’s young child in Detroit.

Jury selection is set to begin Dec. 9 for the case against Iesha Harris, 30, charged with felony murder and first-degree child abuse in connection with the death of 3-year-old Harmoni Henderson. It’s alleged Harris fatally assaulted the child while babysitting her at a home in the 15700 block of Southfield Road. The child was privately transported to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead on March 17, officials said.

According to the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office, the child died from blunt force trauma, believed to have been caused by Harris.

Harris had a preliminary exam in 36th District Court and underwent a competency evaluation which determined she was competent to stand trial.

Judge Kelly Ramsey of the 3rd Judicial Circuit Court of Michigan will preside over the trial. If convicted, Harris faces up to life in prison.
