Mother Sentenced to Life For Pushing Her Children off of a Bridge, Killing One

Doesn't get more disturbing than this...

KPTV out of Portland reports that a Tualatin woman was sentenced to life in prison today after she forced her two children off a bridge, killing one of them. Amanda Stott-Smith, 32, allegedly drove her children to the Sellwood Bridge on May 23rd and pushed them into the river shortly after midnight. Approximately one half-hour later, a couple heard the children screaming and were able to pull them from the water. The older child survived, but little 4-year-old Eldon Smith Jr. was not so lucky.

Stott-Smith changed her plea to guilty earlier this month as part of a deal that spared her from the death penalty. She will have to serve 35 years before she has the possibility of parole.

SICK!!! In our opinion she should never have the possibility of parole!!
