Krystal Scroggs was sentenced Tuesday. She pleaded guilty in April to second-degree murder after authorities said she didn’t seek medical attention after giving birth in 2013.
She also was convicted of abandonment of a corpse and endangering the welfare of a child.
Authorities said the infant was born with methamphetamine in its system and that Scroggs’ failure to take the baby to a hospital or call 911 was the cause of the baby’s death.
Prosecutors also say the infant’s body was found in a plastic tub filled with concrete.
Scroggs’ attorney, John Picerno, says he’s filed a notice of appeal.
