CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. -- A New York woman drew 30 years to life in prison Tuesday for killing two of her newborns, encasing their bodies in concrete and hiding them in a basement and garden shed.
Stacy DeBeer, 30, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder two weeks ago in exchange for two consecutive sentences of 15 years to life in prison -- meaning she'll serve 30 years before she can seek parole.
On Mother's Day on May 11, 2003, her 29th birthday, DeBeer says she gave birth on her living-room couch, placed the infant girl in a garbage bag and hid the body in a garden shed in Farmington, N.Y. She also told police she killed another newborn, also a girl, five years earlier.
