Woman to be sentenced for 10-year-old daughter’s death


BELFAST, Maine (AP) A woman convicted of murdering her 10-year-old daughter in a high-profile case that prompted changes to the state’s child protection system is due to be sentenced this week.

Sharon Carrillo is scheduled to be sentenced Friday for the death of Marissa Kennedy, whose bruised and battered body was found in the family’s home in Stockton Springs in 2018.

Her original sentencing date was postponed because of bad weather.
