A judge accepted Mackenzie Brook Meadows’s plea under Tennessee’s first-offender/diversion statute and ordered two years of probation, completion of anger-management and parenting classes, and payment of court costs.

The state summarized its investigative evidence, saying law enforcement responded after an 11‑month‑old infant was treated for bruising inconsistent with normal play. The child’s mother, Alicia Crouch, read a victim-impact statement in court describing lasting emotional consequences and praising the hope that Meadows would use the disposition as an opportunity to change.

Meadows told the court she understood the rights she waived by pleading, and her attorney confirmed she had signed plea documents and that diversion eligibility had been certified. The court placed Meadows on supervised probation for two years and advised her of the conditions and the consequences of violating probation, including the potential for a conviction to become permanent if terms are not met.
