North Carolina: Range from 78 to 600 months or life http://www.blurtit.com/q160389.html With all the charges I would have thought she would have gotten more than 18 years. Sherry
:iagree: They better put her in solitary confinement....otherwise the guards might find her in several pieces. What that child must have felt as her Step Mom brought her to her death! I don't think justice has been served at all!
