(AP) SANFORD, Fla. - A central Florida woman has been sentenced to life in prison for strangling her toddler daughter with a bra.

A Seminole County jury found 24-year-old Nioshka Bello guilty Wednesday of first-degree murder, and a judge sentenced the woman immediately after that.

Authorities say Bello strangled 2-year-old Janessa Sandoval in September 2009 in a Casselberry home. Bello had argued with the child's father and believed that she would be left homeless the next day. Bello was taken into custody several days after the toddler's death.

The Orlando Sentinel reports that Bello spent months in a state mental hospital after being found incompetent to stand trial. But a judge reviewed medical reports last November and ruled that Bello was well enough to proceed.

I don't know how this turned into a political thing, and you've seemed to gotten off subject here. Go some place else for your political views or arguements, must be another website you can find.

Anyway with her going to prison, maybe one of the inmates will take care of her, and then she'll know what her daughter felt like being strangled to death. Kind of an eye for an eye thing so to speak. She thought she was going to be left homeless...what did that have to do with her daughter? These women that kill their children shouldn't have had kids to begin with. I don't know how any mother who really loves their child could kill them.

.. for once FLORIDA got it RIGHT.. unlike the Casy Anthony trial verdit.... are detectives still actively looking for who murdered that little 3 year old girl? Probably NOT.. there's no one else to search out with a motive or evidence presented..other than the child's mother.. who was found not guilty by an el stupido jury!

She and all murders, child abusers, molesters etc should be put to death immediately following their convictions, they deserve only the same ending as they gave their victim. Stop using our tax dollars on these in-humans.

I totally agree, my friend!

Innocent wildlife and the planet thank you Bello!

That's a heartless response. That baby deserved better and should have been protected by the father.

Typical sick Liberal.

I sometimes wonder if conservatives are selfish or just stupid, ObamasGuppies seems to give me reason to lean toward the latter.

This person's comment does not align with conservative values. Lumping all conservatives together is just as ignorant as this poster.
