The State Supreme Court last month denied a petition for appeal of the murder conviction of a Bolivar man in the death of his days-old infant daughter in December of 2011. Clayton Mibroda, who is now 35 years old, is serving thirty years in prison for violently shaking to death his 20-day-old daughter, Natalee at his mobile home.
Mibroda claimed from the start that he did not shake Natalee to death but the infant’s mother, Kayla Lichtenfels, did. The appeal was based on the testimony of Brandon Green of Black Lick, who was an inmate in the Indiana County Jail at the time and told Mibroda’s attorney that two men, possibly private investigators, visited him at the jail less than a month after the death and he told them that Lichtenfels confessed to him that she had killed her daughter. Indiana County Jail records did not show Green receiving any visitors at the time he claimed, but the attorney went ahead with the appeal because he said the jail does not keep records of who visits inmates in the attorney/client room.
The May 3rd Supreme Court ruling bringing an end to Mibroda’s appeal was rendered without comment. Mibroda is serving his prison term at SCI Greene County.
