Summary

Alfred Bourgeois was a Louisiana truck driver who was convicted in federal court of torturing and killing his two‑year‑old daughter, often referred to in court records as “JG,” in 2002. After a paternity test established he was the child’s father and he was granted temporary custody, prosecutors presented evidence that Bourgeois abused and tortured the toddler over several weeks, including whipping her with an electrical cord, burning the bottoms of her feet with a cigarette lighter, and repeatedly striking her head with a plastic baseball bat, leading to severe injuries. The killing occurred while he was on a trucking delivery to the Corpus Christi Naval Air Station in Texas, where, prosecutors said, he became enraged when the girl tipped over her training potty and slammed her head into the truck’s cab — including the window and dashboard — causing fatal brain injuries. The child died the next day at a hospital from her injuries. A federal jury convicted him of murder in 2004 and unanimously recommended the death penalty, which was carried out by lethal injection at the Federal Correctional Complex in Terre Haute, Indiana, on December 11, 2020.
