(FORT WORTH, TX) – The punishment phase continues today in the trial of a Cleburne woman found guilty of the attempted murder of her 13-year-old son.

42-year-old Danita Tutt was also found guilty on one count of injury to a child causing serious bodily injury.   Prosecutors say Tutt withheld food and water from her son Colby in addition to subjecting him to needless surgeries and medical procedures over several years.  CPS began investigating the Cleburne mom in 2016 after she removed her son from the care of Fort Worth doctors who had become suspicious that she was lying about her son’s medical conditions.

Tutt faces punishment of anywhere from probation to life in prison.
