Judge Rebecca J. D'Angelo sentenced Tiffany Briana Moore to life without parole in the death of a 15-month-old girl.

Life without the possibility of parole is the felony-murder term WWMT reported from the judge. MLive's Sept. 2 story named second-degree murder and first-degree child abuse and did not name felony murder. A sentence on three counts and a verdict story that named two are not the same list. The concurrent terms are not years stacked on the life term. The Friday terms are the sentence.

WWMT News Channel 3, by Teanna Barnes, published Oct. 30, 2026, at 10:34 a.m. and updated at 5:56 p.m., reported that a 34-year-old woman found guilty of murder and child abuse in the death of a 15-month-old girl was sentenced Friday. It reported Judge Rebecca J. D'Angelo sentenced Tiffany Moore to life without the possibility of parole for felony murder, 35-50 years for second degree murder, and 35-50 years for first degree child abuse. In that sentence line, WWMT printed second degree and first degree without hyphens, and printed 35-50 with a hyphen. In the conviction line of the same story, it printed second-degree and first-degree. It reported she received zero credit for time served and that the judge said the three counts are to run concurrently. Concurrent terms are not a second life term added on top. WWMT reported that, according to the judge, Moore showed no remorse and chose not to address the family when prompted. It quoted D'Angelo: "The grief and permanent loss of such a young life has and will forever impact this family. No words, no actions and no sentence will ever be able to fill the void or heal the hurt that you have caused." MLive, by Ryan Boldrey, published Sept. 2, 2026, at 7:09 p.m. and updated Sept. 3 at 11:11 a.m., reported that Tiffany Briana Moore was found guilty Sept. 2 of second-degree murder and first-degree child abuse, and that sentencing was set for Friday, Oct. 30. That story does not report a life term. It does not report felony murder. WWMT's September conviction story, by Katie Sergent, published Sept. 2 at 6:33 p.m. and updated at 6:46 p.m., reported that a jury convicted Tiffany Moore, 34, of felony murder, second-degree murder, and first-degree child abuse, according to the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety, and that sentencing was set for Oct. 30. Tiffany Briana Moore, which MLive printed, and Tiffany Moore, which WWMT printed, are not the same fullness of the name. Two counts, which MLive printed, and three counts, which both WWMT stories printed, are not the same verdict list. The life term is in the updated Oct. 30 story. It is not in the MLive story used here.

Where she was, and what she was doing, are not printed the same way. MLive reported she had been babysitting the girl. WWMT's September story reported the girl had been in Moore's care. WWMT's sentencing story did not print babysitter or in her care. Babysitting and in her care are not the same word. MLive placed the Sept. 2 verdicts in Kalamazoo County Circuit Court and spelled the county Kalmazoo, with one a. WWMT did not print the court in the sentencing story. MLive reported the girl died Oct. 28, 2023. WWMT's sentencing story reported the mother found her unresponsive at their home that day, that she was rushed to a hospital in critical condition, and that police announced the death the next week. WWMT's September story reported she died at the hospital from multiple blunt force injuries, officers said, and that the home was on Michigamme Woods. MLive reported the autopsy later showed multiple blunt force injuries, and that the home was the mother's apartment in the 3300 block of Michigamme Woods. A block, and a street with no number, are not the same address. Died at the hospital, which the September stories reported, and a death police announced the next week, which the sentencing story reported, are not the same timing line. WWMT's September body printed 15-months-old. Its sentencing story printed 15-month-old. MLive printed 15-month-old. The extra s is WWMT's September spelling. The girl is not named here.

What the mother told a 2024 preliminary hearing is in MLive's September story, not in WWMT's sentencing story. MLive spelled the mother Dae'Janique McClenton-Howard. WWMT's sentencing story spelled her DaeJanae McClenton-Howard. The apostrophe, the i, and the q are not the same spelling. MLive reported she testified that Moore was watching the girl at the apartment on Oct. 28, 2023, that Moore and the girl were not there when the mother returned, and that they arrived soon after and Moore handed her the baby wrapped in a blanket. It reported that in the porch light the mother saw the baby's face was swollen, and it quoted her: "That's when I said 'What the f--- did you do to my baby?'" The dashes are MLive's. It reported the eyes were swollen and the body was limp, that Moore told the mother the baby had an allergic reaction, and that the mother said, "I thought she might have drugged her or something," and that they rushed the child to a hospital. An allergic reaction, in that testimony as MLive reported it, and blunt force injuries, in the autopsy account, are not the same explanation. WWMT's September story quoted Sarah Brown, a child-abuse pediatrician at Bronson Children's Hospital, from March 12, 2024: "Her eyelids were so swollen that I could not open her eyes more than just to see her pupils," and, "The CT scan showed severe brain swelling to the point that we were very worried about the possibility of brain death." MLive's September story did not print those sentences. WWMT reported Moore was originally reported missing, was found Oct. 29, 2023, and was charged in December 2023. The September story said she was found by public safety officers and charged later that year. December, and later that year, are not the same date.

WWMT's account of Friday afternoon is the sentencing, not the September verdict. It reported a packed courtroom, with both families there. It quoted a great-godmother, during victim impact statements: "My main question to Tiffany is Why? Why did you feel the need to do what you did?" It quoted her saying there is no answer that explains it, and that putting the family through a trial to look at the pictures and the autopsy reports was traumatizing. A later sentence in that quotation uses the girl's name. That name is not printed here. WWMT reported relatives held teddy bears that played the girl's heartbeat when squeezed, and quoted a family member, addressing Moore: "This is the heartbeat that you snuffed out, and I hope for the rest of your days, you hear this heartbeat." It reported that after Moore left, her family wore shirts reading "Free Tiff #SheInnocent," and that the girl's family wore shirts with a slogan that used her name. The slogan is not printed here. It quoted a relative: "Her family can visit her wherever she goes, but we can't see our grandchild again, [her mom] can't see her baby again, her dad can't hold her again, we only have the cemetery to go visit her. So, today, justice was definitely served." The brackets are WWMT's. It reported the family went to the grave later to release balloons. It quoted the mother, under the DaeJanae spelling: "For this to finally come to an end, it means a lot to me personally, because they dragged this on for three years," and, "God had the final say." WWMT's September story quoted Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety Capt. Danielle Guilds and printed the rank twice, as Captain Captain. MLive quoted the same captain, from the verdict, and printed Capt. once. A doubled rank and a single rank are not the same title line. The Friday terms are the sentence on the counts WWMT named. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
