As if Billy Bob “Don’t Talk About My Acting Career, I’m a Musician Now” Thornton’s life wasn’t dramatic enough, the sad news today is that his estranged eldest daughter, Amanda Brumfield, was indicted yesterday in connection with the death of a 1-year-old child in her care. Brumfield, 29, is being held on the charges of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse and aggravated manslaughter in connection with the death of a friend’s child she was babysitting last October in Ocoee, Florida. While she first claimed the child fell and hit her head, the medical examiner determined the death to be a homicide after discovering a skull fracture and additional brain injury. She is currently being held without bail in the Orange County, Florida jail.
