A 24-year-old Wayne woman is facing trial in the November death of her 3-year-old daughter.
Cassandra K. Michalski's case was sent Monday to Wayne County Circuit Court by Judge Laura Mack following a preliminary hearing in 29th District Court.
Michalski is charged with felony murder and first-degree child abuse in the death of Skyler Michalski. She faces a sentence of life in prison without parole if convicted of felony murder.
Skyler was pronounced dead at Beaumont Hospital in Wayne on Nov. 10, 2017. She had been brought to the hospital with head, neck and back injuries, according to the county prosecutor's office.
The county medical examiner's office found the death was caused by abusive head trauma.
Michalski is being held in the Wayne County Jail on a $100,000 cash or surety bond. She is scheduled to be formally charged in circuit court Monday, May 14.
