SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) - A jury in Sarasota has found a woman guilty of the second-degree murder of her 14-week-old son in 2021.

The case went to the jury in Sarasota Circuit Court Thursday morning; they retuned the guilty verdict shortly before 10 p.m.

Lily Scheip was charged after paramedics were called to a home on Spring Oaks Circle on Nov. 8, 2021, where the unresponsive infant was being given CPR by a neighbor.

According to a probable cause affidavit, investigators determined Scheip came to the neighbor’s door carrying the unresponsive baby.

The child was taken to Sarasota Memorial Hospital and then airlifted to Tampa General Hospital for further treatment. Doctors noticed head trauma and no brain activity, the affidavit said. The child was taken off life support and died Nov. 10.
