Megan Boswell was sentenced to life in prison plus an additional 33 years by Sullivan County Judge Jim Goodwin in the death of her daughter, 15-month-old Evelyn Mae Boswell. That sentence means she will never be released from prison.
After a weeklong trial in Sullivan County, Boswell, 24, was convicted on Feb. 13 of first-degree murder, along with other charges, including child abuse, neglect, tampering with evidence, abuse of a corpse, and several counts of making false police reports. The judge added consecutive sentences after the life in prison term because of the brutality of the crime, he said.
