Hall was arrested last year after investigators say she repeatedly beat and tortured her then 1-year-old daughter.

Detectives say the little girl suffered severe brain injuries from those beatings.

Hall's husband pleaded no contest to similar charges earlier this year. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
