ORIONIS BARRON-TAYLOR - 2 yo (2009) Convicted: Marquicio Johnson - Clayton/ St Louis MO

CLAYTON, Mo. — A St. Louis County man has been sentenced to 32 years
in prison for the death of a 2-year-old girl who suffered burns and a
severe beating.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/L8F4k7
) 35-year-old Marquicio Johnson was convicted in April of second-degree
murder, child endangerment and two counts of child abuse. The Hazelwood
man was sentenced Thursday in St. Louis County Circuit Court.

Johnson was accused in the December 2009 death of
Orionis Barron-Taylor at the home of her great-aunt, who was Johnson's
girlfriend. He had been watching the little girl while her great-aunt
worked an overnight shift as a nurse.

Prosecutors said the toddler died from swelling of the
brain as a result of being beaten by Johnson, who waited almost an hour
to call for help.

32 years doesn't seem long enough.
