| Staffordshire Police released the harrowing 999 call made by Jackson after she smothered the little girl. | |
| The little girl's body was found on the floor in a bedroom on the morning of October 10 last year after officers broke into her home. | |
| Jackson, who was in the same room attempting CPR, was found with "superficial" chest, neck and wrist injuries. | |
| She had written a suicide note before the killing, stating: "There's nothing for me or Macey." | |
| Before changing her plea, Jackson claimed she woke up and found Macey's cold body next to her in bed, in between two pillows. | |
| Judge Chambers told Jackson: "You have had the courage to plead guilty, but this remains a very serious case, for a mother to kill her very young child is a wicked and appalling act. | |
| "You thought about killing yourself and decided to kill Macey as well an expression of utter self-absorption." |
