The baby's father spoke on his son's behalf: 'He is never going to forget the things you did.'
HOBBS, New Mexico - A New Mexico judge sentenced a woman found guilty of throwing her newborn son into a dumpster to 16 years in prison.
During closing arguments, the prosecution argued that, despite Alexis Avila’s mental illnesses, the crime was intentional and violent. They said she showed no remorse for her actions until she heard the guilty verdict,“Your Honor, what we see here is a pattern of someone who not only is not showing remorse but someone who, in fact, takes deliberate steps in her own recollection of this event to minimize her own role,” said Attorney General Deputy of Prosecution Mark Probasco.
Alexis Avila was the last person to speak in court. During her statement, she cried while apologizing to her son and her family for her actions. The judge announced Alexis Avila’s 16-year prison sentence will be followed by two years of probation. After the sentence was read, he told the mother that no sentence she serves will be harder than the life she has created for herself.
