Police said the grandmother admitted that she forced the girl to drink the rest of the whiskey in a bottle after discovering that she may have taken a sip. It was reportedly Canadian Mist, an 80 proof whiskey, which translates to 40 alcohol. She made her drink the alcohol while on her knees in the kitchen hallway as the girl's mother, Kadjha Record, allegedly watched on.The grandmother told police she messed up and ruined everyone's lives.An autopsy found that she had a 0.68 blood alcohol level, which is more than eight times the legal limit for an adult driver.Assistant District Attorney Dana Cummings said the grandmother did not have a good relationship with the child.
