A Sandstone, Minn., woman will go to prison for starving her disabled daughter to death.
Ludusky Sue Hotchkiss was sentenced to four years in prison for manslaughter. She pleaded guilty in a plea deal with prosecutors in May. Two lesser charges were dismissed.
Prosecutors say her 10-year-old daughter, Lakesha Victor, was just 31 pounds when she died of malnutrition, dehydration and pneumonia in 2006.
The girl had cerebral palsy, autism, a seizure disorder and ate through a feeding tube.
