A woman will serve 99 years in prison for the death of her 6-month-old son whose corpse was found in an Alabama motel room freezer last summer.
Amanda Gail Oakes, 36, was sentenced on Aug. 28 after she pleaded guilty to charges including manslaughter and corpse abuse. Oakes also agreed to testify against Carlton James Mathis, the boy’s father. It was determined the boy died from methamphetamine ingestion while in the care of his father. Mathis’s murder trial is set for November.
