A Connecticut nanny accused of burning a 3-year-old's hand and leg on a hot stove, swinging her by the hair and trapping her inside a toy chest has been sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Lidia Quilligana, 32, learned her fate during an emotionally charged sentencing hearing on Tuesday, six weeks after she pleaded guilty to second-degree assault, which was reduced from first-degree assault in exchange for pleading guilty to 24 counts of risk of injury to a minor.
Quilligana pleaded guilty to some charges under the Alford doctrine, meaning she doesn't agree with all the evidence but acknowledges there's enough for a conviction.
