They framed me, death nanny cries

A “nightmare” nanny who tried to suffocate an infant with a baby wipe will do hard time for the sick act — but insisted she was framed.

At her sentencing Monday in Manhattan Supreme Court, a tearful Marianne Benjamin-Williams, 47, told the still-traumatized parents of Maxwell Blutreich that she was “sorry for all that you went through” but added she was blameless in the 2-month-old boy’s neardeath episode in 2017.

“I also wanted to tell you one last time that I did not harm Max,” said Benjamin-Williams, an native of Israel who submitted a fake résumé and doctored identification to get the job. “It wasn’t me who put (the wipe) there,” she said.

Justice Ruth Pickholz saw through her story and slapped Benjamin-Williams (photo) with a 15-year sentence for attempted murder, assault and related charges for the May 18, 2017, incident at the family’s Manhattan apartment. She called the case “very troubling” and fired back at the would-be killer’s innocence claim.

“The jury spoke. You took the stand. You spoke at length and the jury believed you intended to kill Max,” Pickholz said.

“It was clear that you were the person in charge that day and a balled-up baby wipe ended up in Maxwell’s throat,” the judge added. “What you did is a nightmare.”

Evidence at trial showed she was the only adult in the apartment for several hours prior to the boy becoming blue and limp while struggling to breathe.

Experts ruled out an “accidental” ingestion and said the boy’s toddler sister, who was 18 months old at the time, was physically incapable of the act.

Prosecutors said Benjamin-Williams was disgruntled over her pay and had often manhandled Maxwell prior to the wipe incident in an effort to silence the cranky, frequently crying tot.
