A woman portrayed by prosecutors as evil was sentenced Wednesday to 60 years in prison for fatally injuring her 6-year-old stepdaughter by punching her in the stomach.
Maria Eugenia Lopez, 26, pleaded guilty in June to child abuse resulting in the death of Rosa Arana and child abuse causing serious bodily injury.
Deputy District Attorney Will Bain said Rosa endured weeks or months of abuse from Lopez before the punch that severed her small bowel, killing her. He asked for a 70-year sentence, the maximum under a plea deal, guaranteeing she’d spend at least 30 years in prison.
