White Mother Sentenced 40 Years After Her 8-Month-Old Baby Died Weighing Just 11 Lbs.
An Indiana woman was sentenced Wednesday to 40 years in prison after her 8-month-old daughter died weighing almost the same amount as a newborn baby.
Makenzie Shultz’s 8-month-old daughter Briley Giroux died in November 2015, after she was found emaciated, dehydrated, malnourished and weighing 11 lbs., according to the Journal & Courier.
According to Fox 59, Briley hadn’t seen a doctor in six months and had an impacted bowel.
Briley’s father, Chad Giroux, Jr., was sentenced to 34 years in prison in connection to her death in March, the outlet reported.
Shultz, 23, was convicted of seven charges in September, including neglect resulting in death and failure to report a dead body, according to the Associated Press.
