DeKalb County man convicted of killing toddler

A DeKalb County man was convicted Monday of beating to death a 2-year-old girl who was in his care, and on Tuesday Robert Alexander will be sentenced for murder, cruelty to children and aggravated battery.

Diamone Wilson was hospitalized on July 15, 2010, with severe injuries to her arms, liver and pelvis.

“This was a brutal and senseless act by a very violent and dangerous individual,” said DeKalb County District Attorney Robert James.

Judge Gregory Adams is scheduled to sentence Alexander at 1:30 p.m.
