A 33-year-old mother told a judge last week she "does everything for her children" just before he sentenced her to 15 years in prison for letting her disabled daughter slowly starve to death. Through a translator, and with tears streaming from her eyes, Doraelia Espinoza told Judge Bruce Fox she "never wanted" her 16-year-old daughter Maria to die and declared "I love my children with my whole heart, from the oldest to the youngest," KRQE reported. Maria's rash-covered body weighed 40 pounds when it was brought to an Albuquerque hospital several days after she died.
