A former Georgia pageant queen has been sentenced to life in prison for the killing of her boyfriend’s 18-month-old son. Trinity Poague was found guilty on Friday, December 5, on five charges, including two counts of felony murder.
“I don’t do a lot of speaking when I’m passing the sentence,” said Judge W. James Sizemore Jr. of the Southwestern Circuit Court of Georgia. “The bottom line is you’re going to receive a sentence of life in prison, which is the appropriate sentence for the conduct that you have been convicted of.” Poague will also serve an additional 20 years concurrently.
Poague remained stoic during her sentencing but had shown visible emotion earlier when the jury delivered its verdict. She was arrested in January 2024, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI). The toddler, later identified as Romeo Angeles (also known as Jaxton Drew), was found unresponsive on the campus of Georgia Southwestern State University on January 14, 2024, where Poague, then 18, was a student.
