A Madison County teen admitted in court to killing her baby sister while watching her last year.
She says she was frustrated with the infant at the time of the death.
The hearing Wednesday was less than 10 minutes. Marcum stood before the court with her head down and her voice low. The judge asked Marcum to describe in her own words what happened to Bella Rose on June 7, 2013.

“I was laying Bella down for a nap and I got frustrated and put my hand on her head,” said Marcum.
Marcum says she pressed her sister’s head into the mattress until she stopped crying, but never meant to kill her.
“I just got frustrated because she wouldn’t go to sleep,” said Marcum.
Marcum was only a child herself, 17-years-old and about to finish her G.E.D. She changed her plea from not guilty of murder to guilty of manslaughter. She admits to killing baby Bella Rose, even though she says it was an accident.
