A Texas mom who is accused of beating her three-month-old baby daughters has been thrown back in jail after DailyMail.com exposed how she had been controversially released on a $250 bond.
Brittney Bailey, 31, was arrested in March for allegedly abusing one of her twin babies. She is also under investigation for her role in the death of the infant's sister and could face charges when the autopsy is complete.
Austin cops were furious when magistrate Judge Tania Jeffers granted Bailey a $250 bond, allowing her to walk free from jail in April.
'Our criminal justice system is broken. Maybe one day we can find judges that actually care about protecting victims instead of coddling criminals,' police association president Michael Bullock blasted Jeffers online.
But after DailyMail.com reported on the case, a second judge, Brandy Mueller, has revoked Bailey's $250 bond.
Brittney Bailey, 31, is charged with the physical abuse of her three-month-old infant baby and is under investigation for the death of a second baby, according to Austin police
Judge Tania Jeffers declined to speak to DailyMail.com about why she lowered Bailey's bond to $250. Jeffers was elected to her post in March
Mueller has issued a $500,000 bond and included in the order that Bailey was not to have contact with the twin who is still alive.
Paramedics had been called to an apartment where Bailey was staying with her newborn twins on March 10.
One of the twin girls was not breathing after Bailey claimed the baby rolled off the bed, reported local station KVUE.
The baby who allegedly fell off the bed also had cuts and bruises to her face.
Bailey blamed her 17-year-old daughter for the injures, telling police she saw the teenager play rough with the newborn and throw a cellphone at her.
The Honorable Brandy Mueller, who presides over the 403rd Criminal District Court in Travis County, revoked the $250 bond that allowed Bailey to be set free
The twin was taken to the hospital where she died five days later.
When that baby was examined at the hospital, doctors found injuries to her lips, cheeks and nostrils and bruising to her forehead and neck.
There were also numerous fractures to both legs and possible fractures to her ribs.
Doctors didn't buy Bailey's version of events, writing in their report to police that the wounds on the baby were 'attributable to forces generated by someone with the strength and coordination of an adult.'
The father of the twins told investigators he witnessed Bailey being rough with the infant on several occasions, but claimed she would beat on him when he tried to intervene.
While investigating the death of the baby, police noticed signs of abuse on her sister.
Bailey was charged with injury to a child, a first-degree felony, for the twin who is still alive.
No one has yet been in charged in the death of the baby who died while police await the results of an autopsy.
'There is potential for further charges,' the Austin Police Department told DailyMail.com
Despite the on-going homicide investigation, Bailey's lawyer submitted a request to lower her bond from the original $40,000 at the time of her arrest, claiming she was 'indigent,' court records show.
On April 23, Jeffers reduced Bailey's bond to $250. The mom walked out of the jail the next day.
As part of bond granted by Jeffers, Bailey was forced to wear a GPS monitor for 90 and abide by a curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Bailey was originally given a $40,000 bond, however, her lawyer submitted a request to lower it on ground she is indigent, and Judge Tania Jeffers agreed to lower it to $250 on April 23. Bailey bonded out the next day
Jeffers did not respond to a request for comment for DailyMail.com.
Additionally, there was no order in Jeffers' bond to keep Bailey from seeing the child is she was accused of abusing.
'Incredibly grateful that common sense prevailed after shining the light on this poor decision, Bullock posted online after Bailey went back to jail.
'Hopefully accountability and justice will win the day when this is all said and done.'
