The child, 8, was allegedly tortured for more than nine hours by repeatedly being thrown down a set of stairs and each time being dragged up by her hair.

The child had fractured ribs and vertebrae and suffered injuries to her kidney and liver. She told the court she thought she was going to be killed in the prolonged attack.

The child's father, Daniel LeBlanc, who is in the process of divorcing Cara LeBlanc, is also charged with two misdemeanors of assault and endangering the welfare of the child for an incident that occurred several days prior to the July 10, 2008, attack. He is due to stand trial in March.

Cara LeBlanc fled the state after the incident and was found in Florida.
