A Gwinnett County judge declared a mistrial on Monday in the case of Cledir Barros, 37, who faced charges of child cruelty after his 8-year-old daughter, Sayra Barros, was allegedly beaten to death by his wife, Natiela Barros, 34. The jury deliberated for three hours before becoming deadlocked, prompting Superior Court Judge Karen Beyers to declare the mistrial after the jury reviewed evidence, including body camera videos and 911 calls. Cledir Barros was charged with failing to seek timely medical help for his daughter, who lost consciousness following the incident, while Natiela Barros is charged with murder.
