   A Bronx mother left accused of killing her two toddlers brutally   
   beat the helpless kids inside their apartment on back-to-back   
   nights in July 2017, prosecutors alleged Friday.   
      
   Suspect Jade Spencer, looking a little worse for the wear after   
   her Thursday arrest in New Jersey, was held on $250,000 bond or   
   $100,000 cash bail pending a Tuesday return to Bronx Criminal   
   Court. She was charged with manslaughter and assault in the   
   deaths of her battered kids Micah Gee, 3, and Olivia Gee, 2, who   
   died just three minutes apart at Montefiore Medical Center on   
   July 10, 2017.   
      
   “Jade Spencer was their mother, and she was supposed to protect   
   them," said Assistant District Attorney Jill Starishevsky. “But   
   this mother ended up being their biggest threat.”   
      
   Autopsies by the city medical examiner determined the siblings   
   suffered from similar injuries caused by blunt force trauma to   
   their tiny torsos inside the eighth-floor Van Cortlandt Park   
   South apartment, according to a criminal complaint. Each child   
   was killed by internal bleeding from a lacerated liver inflicted   
   in the late hours of July 9, 2017.   
      
   And each child also showed evidence of a similar injury suffered   
   the night before that also left the doomed pair with bleeding   
   livers, authorities charged. Spencer was home alone with the   
   siblings on both nights, and she found the two dying kids in   
   their bedroom around 1:15 a.m. — with Micah struggling to   
   breathe and his kid sister unresponsive.   
      
   Spencer then called 911, according to authorities.   
      
   Authorities provided no motive for the alleged beatings of the   
   small kids. Spencer, 33, who moved from the Bronx to Bloomfield,   
   N.J., was arrested Wednesday in the Garden State and said   
   nothing during her court appearance.   
      
   “The cause of death of both of these two children is blunt   
   impact injuries to the torso,” said prosecutor Starishevsky.   
   “Each child had injuries to the liver that occurred on two   
   separate occasions about 24 hours apart."   
      
   According to the criminal complaint, the defendant was the “sole   
   caretaker” of the kids for the evening hours when they were   
   twice assaulted. The internal bleeding caused by their injuries   
   were responsible for both deaths, the medical examiner ruled.   
      
   Defense attorney David Bertan, in arguing for lower bail, noted   
   that Spencer was the mother of a 1-year-old child and never fled   
   the jurisdiction despite the two-year investigation into her   
   possible role in the death of her two older kids.   
      
   The suspect’s mom, sitting in the courtroom, sat quietly   
   throughout the hearing and declined to speak after her daughter   
   was led away. Bertan similarly said nothing beyond his comments   
   at the hearing.
