Mother Sentenced In Daughter's Death

  • {Charleston, West Virginia}...In February, Leslie Boggs, 26, of South Charleston, pleaded guilty to rolling over on her 3-month-old daughter after passing out during a drug and alcohol binge in May 2010. Thursday morning, Boggs was sentenced to 3 to 15 years in prison. Boggs' attorney had asked for home confinement and probation, but Kanawha County Circuit Court Judge Paul Zakaib denied that request because of Boggs' behavior while awaiting trial on home confinement. Zakaib revoked her home confinement in March. Boggs offered up an apology during Thursday's hearing but Judge Zakaib says it didn't do her any good because, after she entered her plea in February, she was caught partying with friends with alcohol and drugs in her system.
