The couple that are accused of beating to death the woman’s 2 year old little girl, appeared playful and happy at a picnic less than 2 weeks after the toddler’s death, a witness testified at the mother’s trial.
Angelica Zenon worked with Ziegler at Emerson Process Management offices in Stafford, a southwestern suburb of Houston. She testified Friday that Trenor and Ziegler seemed happy and playful at the company’s picnic Aug. 4, 2007.
“At any time, did these two people look like they were mourning the loss of a 2-year-old child?” Assistant Galveston County District Attorney Kayla Allen asked.
“No,” Zenon answered, according to a report on the Houston Chronicle’s Web site.
In another document introduced in court Thursday, indicated that Zeigler wrote a suicide note absolving Trenor in Riley’s death. But the suicide note is contradicted by another letter in which he describes his plans to divorce her.

/ 02/02/2009Prosecution in ‘Baby Grace’ Trial to Call Final Witness
Prosecutors will called their final witness in the case against Kimberly Dawn Trenor, the Texas mother accused of beating her 2-year-old daughter to death, the AP reports. The Galveston County medical examiner will testify today as the prosecution finishes presenting evidence that Trenor, 20, with her husband, killed Riley Ann Sawyers in a deadly discipline session and hid her body in Galveston Bay.
Trenor’s husband, Royce Clyde Zeigler II, 25, will have a separate trial. Trenor’s defense alleges that it was Zeigler who fatally threw the toddler onto a tile floor. Zeigler confirmed this in a note for a failed suicide attempt but has changed his story since being taken into custody. Trenor faces life in prison if convicted of capital murder.
