Family of 3-year-old abused by Food Network contestant Ariel Robinson speaks out after guilty verdict

The family of a 3-year-old girl abused to death by her foster parents is grateful after a Greenville, South Carolina, jury found suspect Ariel Robinson guilty of homicide by child abuse.

"It is a huge sense of relief that Victoria did get justice in the end. Obviously, we're still devastated that she's gone, but we are very grateful that the police and the prosecution and the judge…did such a wonderful job, and they did such a wonderful job that the jury could plainly see that she had committed this crime, and she's going to serve her life sentence for it," Michelle Wooten Urps, Smith's great aunt, told Fox News Digital of her family's reaction to the verdict.

Robinson, 30, and her 35-year-old husband, Jerry "Austin" Robinson, were arrested and charged with homicide by child abuse in January 2021 following Smith's death, Greenville County records show. Austin pleaded guilty last month to aiding and abetting homicide by child abuse and will serve between 10 and 20 years in prison, as FOX Carolina reported.
