A recent plea bargain will pit a former Monument woman against her boyfriend, who is charged with murder in the death of his 9-year-old daughter.
Monique Lynch, 30, agreed to testify against Hanif Sims as part of a deal with prosecutors last week in which she pleaded guilty to child abuse causing death, according to the 4th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
While Lynch’s charge of first-degree murder was tossed out, charges against Sims were upgraded to murder.
