Molly Midyette has been accepted into a Community Corrections program and is expected to transfer to a Boulder County halfway house from the La Vista Correctional Facility in Pueblo in the next few months.
Midyette, now divorced and using her maiden name of Bowers, was convicted of child abuse resulting in death for not getting help in time to save her 10-week-old son Jason Midyette in 2006.
Jason suffered numerous broken bones and brain damage.
Prosecutors accused Molly Mid-yette’s then-husband, Alex Midyette, of causing the injuries. In a separate trial, Alex Midyette was convicted of a lesser offense. Both are appealing their convictions. A request by Molly Midyette for a new trial was denied last year.
Molly Midyette was sentenced to 16 years in prison, but she is eligible for parole in May 2014.
Alex Midyette also was sentenced to 16 years in prison; he is serving his time at the Trinidad Correctional Facility and is eligible for parole in January 2016.
