Mother sobs in court as she pleads guilty to murdering son, four, after she did nothing to stop husband burning, starving and beating child
dailymail.co.uk A mother whose four-year-old son was starved, scalded, beaten with a hammer and then buried in a shallow grave has been sentenced to at least 20 years in prison for her role in the boy's death. Stephanie Sloop, 31, was given 20 years to life behind bars for Ethan Stacy's 2010 death. Sloop pleaded guilty to aggravated murder and obstructing justice under a deal with prosecutors in Farmington, Utah. Sloop sobbed in court as she admitted she was completely responsible for her son's brutal death, following days of starvation and torture at the hands of her husband, 'because I was his mommy'. Prosecutors said Sloop failed to stop her husband and Ethan's stepfather, Nathan Sloop, from abusing her son and didn't call for help. They asked that she spends the rest of her life in prison. The 31-year-old fidgeted today as the court heard details of the little boy's brutal torture. A medical examiner testified that Ethan died from a combination of too many over-the-counter medications, aspiration pneumonia and severe burns, likely caused from hot water in a tub. Aspiration pneumonia is caused by an inhalation of foreign materials into the lungs, potentially vomit, or as prosecutors suggested, fecal matter that the boy allegedly was forced to eat.
