The mother of a 7-month-old boy who was beaten to death last year was sentenced today.
Michelle Ford, 31, pleaded guilty to aggravated child neglect and was sentenced to one year in jail followed by four years of probation. Keith Skinner, Ford's long-time boyfriend and father of two of her three children, is charged with the murder of their son Triumph Skinner.
As part of the plea deal, Ford is required to testify against Skinner in court when he goes to trial next year. She is also not allowed to have unsupervised contact with her two remaining children.
Ford lost parental rights of her 9-year-old daughter who is being cared for by the Department of Children and Families. Her newborn son has also been taken away, assistant state attorney Shannon O'Brien said in court.
