Clark has spent the past seven years seeking justice for her child\u0027s life\u002Daltering injuries.
Last week, a district court judge in Harris County, Tex., sentenced Jefferson to five years of probation after a jury convicted her of the charges. She faced a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.“It is really unfair,” said Clark, 31. “We waited for justice for this long, and for this to be what was decided in the end is really disappointing.”
A jury agreed with Kovach’s argument last week, declaring that Jefferson was guilty of her charge and recommending that she serve a decade of probation. She was sentenced Thursday. On Jan. 7, 2016, Nevaeh visited a Houston dentist for extractions, pulpotomies and stainless steel crowns, according to the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners, which reviewed Jefferson’s treatment. At 8:38 a.m., Jefferson used Meperidine and Atarax to sedate Nevaeh, the dental examiners’ documents say..Nevaeh began screaming and shaking afterward, prompting Jefferson to give her Halcion – a medication not used to treat seizures and not recommended for children – around 11:35 a.m.
Nevaeh was taken to the emergency room but suffered two more seizures during the trip, the documents say. The next morning, a physician diagnosed Nevaeh with a hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, which impairs the victim’s consciousness, the medical review alleges.“Everything was taken from her that day,” Clark said.
