BOULDER — A tearful Molly Midyette drew 16 years in prison for ignoring the injuries that led to the death of her baby boy.
Judge Lael Montgomery said Thursday that Midyette failed to protect or care for 10-week-old Jason and ignored the brutal treatment for which her husband, Alex, is charged.
Jason was found to have more than 20 broken bones as well as head injuries that led to his death in 2006.
Alex Midyette remains free on a $750,000 bond and faces a May 27 trial for child abuse.
Throughout Molly Midyette’s trial in December, prosecutors said the injuries were evident in the days before Jason was taken to a hospital and placed on life support. He died two days later.
