Prosecutors in Baton Rouge said the 57-year-old made four-year-old China Record finish a 750ml bottle of Canadian Mist in April 2022 at the family's Wallis Street home.
An autopsy found the child had a 0.680 blood alcohol level, and prosecutors alleged her mother, Kadjah Record, watched without intervening and is also charged with murder.
