A woman has been sentenced to 12 years in state prison after pleading no contest to multiple charges in connection with the 2019 murder of her infant son by her then-boyfriend. 

Defendant Stephanie Holly pleaded no contest to charges of neglect of a child causing great bodily harm, failure to report child abuse/neglect and culpable negligence expose injury. 

Holly’s 5-month-old son, Daemon Scott, had died from blunt head trauma, but had injuries consistent with abuse over an extended time period. 

Holly’s boyfriend, Calib Scott, was convicted in April of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison for the child’s death.
