Trinity Poague, a 20-year-old former beauty pageant queen, is on trial for the alleged murder of her boyfriend’s 18-month-old son, Jaxton Angeles, who died from severe injuries in her college dorm room. Prosecutors claim Poague resented the child, having sent texts expressing her desire to harm him, while her defense argues there is no evidence linking her to the crime. The toddler was found with fatal blunt force trauma, including brain bleeds and liver lacerations, shortly after Poague called her boyfriend, stating the child was unresponsive. Poague’s title of Miss Donalsonville was revoked following her arrest, and a GoFundMe for Jaxton’s father has raised over $12,000.
