Jennifer Henderson's early memories of her mother are vague recollections: going to the neighborhood pool together and watching scary movies at their house near Pflugerville.

Melissa Bradshaw remembers her mother using drugs, calling her a little bitch and beating her, once so badly that her eyes swelled up and she couldn't see.


Their mother is Cathy Lynn Henderson, a Travis County woman scheduled to die Wednesday for murdering Brandon Baugh, a 3-month-old boy she was baby-sitting, in 1994.

Jennifer Henderson, 17, wants her mother to get a new trial and one day be set free.

Bradshaw, 28, wants Cathy Lynn Henderson dead.
