Dawkins was charged in the beating death of his goddaughter Milayna Harris. He was convicted of injury to a child.

Stoker wanted to see a more severe charge.

"[I wanted] capital murder, because he killed that child. ...The only thing I couldn't prove in my mind was did he intend to do that,” Stoker said.

Stoker said the experience will always stay with her.

"On the 911 tape, you hear her take her last breathes. The pictures, oh God, the pictures were just everywhere. Everywhere I look there’s a picture of a beaten 2-year-old," Stoker said.

Stoker and the rest of the jurors convicted Dawkins but they came back as a hung jury when it came to the sentencing phase. Stoker said she wanted 99 years.

"All of us weren't on the same page. All of us went to 50 years and a $10,000 fine but one man,” Stoker said.

Stoker said that one man wouldn't budge. She said he wouldn't go beyond higher than 17 years, and eventually that is what resulted in the hung jury.

For Stoker, she hopes Dawkins’ next sentencing jury locks him up.

"I don't want him walking the streets next to my daughter, or my granddaughter or my son myself. You know, he brutally took the life of a child, or stood and watched a child's life get taken," Stoker said.
