Jeri Quezada, 33, Phifer’s former girlfriend and Wright’s mother, testified that Phifer bound Wright’s hands behind her back and strung her up in a closet. "What you did was monstrous and savage," Dallas County Judge Robert Burns told Phifer. Prosecutors argued that Quezada and Phifer were both responsible for the girl’s death, but Phifer had been alone with the girl for hours on the day of her murder. Wright’s death implicated the failure of Child Protective Services. Quezada pleaded guilty last year to felony injury to a child for her role in her daughter's death.
