Jasmine Gordon, 25, and her boyfriend Clifford Thomas, 34, were found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of three-year-old Jamila

Jamila's biological father Dwayne Smith was set to give a victim impact statement in Detroit, Michigan court but instead of addressing his daughter's mother and her boyfriend, he punched Thomas from behind.

The toddler died in September 2014, after her mother and stepfather took her to the hospital when she stopped breathing.

The couple claimed that the little girl hit her head and then fell unconscious, but experts later determined that the girl's death was a homicide, after suffering physical abuse from Thomas.

The judge did not hold Dwayne Smith in contempt of court and allowed him to return after recess.

Both Gordon and Thomas were found guilty of involuntary manslaughter.
