MUNCIE, Ind. (WISH) - A woman who appealed her conviction and sentence for the neglect of a dependent which resulted in the death of a 5-year-old has lost her appeal.
Brittany McConniel, 26, was sentenced to 50 years in prison in the death of her step-daughter, Lauren McConniel.
An autopsy showed the child died of malnourishment and salt poisoning.
McConniel had raised three issues - whether the court abused its discretion in denying McConniel’s motion for funds for expert witness, whether the evidence is sufficient to sustain McConniel’s conviction, and whether McConniel’s sentence is inappropriate in light of the nation of the offense and her character.
The Indiana Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court’s conviction and sentence.
