Texas mother who confessed to killing her 2 daughters sentenced to life in prison

DALLAS — It took a Dallas County jury less than an hour to return a guilty verdict for the Irving mother who confessed to killing her two young daughters.

Madison McDonald, 30 at the time of the slayings, was sentenced to life in prison without the chance of parole for two counts of capital murder.

In April 2021, McDonald drove to the Irving Police Department about 10 p.m. and used the phone in the lobby to call 911, police previously said, adding that she told dispatchers she had killed her daughters, 1-year-old Lillian Mae McDonald and 6-year-old Archer Hammond.
