Jeanie Ditty, a North Carolina mother, has been found guilty of first-degree murder more than ten years after her two-year-old daughter died from horrific injuries she caused. Her daughter, Macy Grace Ditty, suffered at least 40 separate physical blows and non-survivable brain injuries, eventually leading to her death in December 2015.
Ditty was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on Thursday, 20 August, following the conviction. She was also sentenced to 157 to 201 months for felonious child abuse causing serious bodily injury.
