A Minnesota mother has been convicted of murdering her two-month-old son back in 2017 after she forcefully threw him into his crib.
26-year-old Shy Ann Hentges was found guilty of second-degree murder in connection with the April 2017 death of her 2-month-old son Eli Arispe Hentges.
Reports of an unresponsive child emerged on April 5, 2017. The boy died after suffering rib fractures and at least two fractures to his skull.
The mother told investigators at first that Eli hit his head against a door frame but she changed her story later to claim she "forcefully put Eli down into his crib."
"While this was a very difficult case for everyone involved, we want to thank everyone that helped bring justice for this infant," the Isanti County Sheriff's Office said.
