NEW YORK—A New York nanny convicted of fatally stabbing two young children in her care was sentenced on Monday, May 14, to life in prison without the possibility of parole for a crime that has been described as every parent’s nightmare.
In a case that drew national headlines, Yoselyn Ortega, 56, was found guilty by a jury in April of murdering both Lucia Krim, 6, nicknamed Lulu, and her 2-year-old brother, Leo, and leaving their bloody bodies in a bathtub in their luxury Manhattan apartment in October 2012.
