A detective with the Laurel County Sheriff’s Department took the stand Tuesday to testify in the case of two twin girls who were injured so severely that one of them later died.
Mia was just seven-weeks-old when she was taken to the hospital for critical head trauma on August 30th.
She died at UK Hospital September 1st.
Mia’s father, Gary Nicely, was arrested at the hospital. Her mother, Jessica Nicely, was arrested later.

Detective Kyle Gray told the courtroom that Mia’s twin sister Mya had three broken bones in her leg and was also taken to the hospital.
Investigators say that Gary told them Mia was hurt after her mother went into their bedroom and he heard things being thrown. They said that Gary claims he witnessed Jessica slam Mia’s head into the bedrail several times.
In a jailhouse interview with LEX 18, Jessica said that Gary is to blame.
The two are set to be back in court on September 16th.
The case will be presented to a grand jury.
