A judge has sentence a Dallas mother to 99 years in prison for super-gluing her toddler daughter’s hands to a wall and beating her into a coma.
Elizabeth Escalona had no visible reaction to the verdict, but her family members wailed and wept with their heads in their laps as TV cameras surrounded them.
The 23-year-old mother pleaded guilty to her crimes in July and testified extensively in her own defense, asking the judge to spare her any prison time and give her a second chance to redeem herself.
