Central Texas Mother Gets Life Sentence for Killing Toddler

A Central Texas woman has been sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to murder in the death of her 2-year-old daughter.

Emily Ann Hudson agreed to plead guilty in Waco to murder in a plea deal with prosecutors in return for a charge reduction from capital murder, keeping open the chance for parole. Hudson, who is 21, must serve 30 years in prison before becoming eligible for parole.

McLennan County sheriff's deputies called to the woman's home on Feb. 4 found Aimee Hudson unresponsive with multiple head injuries and bruises about her body. She died the next morning at the hospital, and her mother admitted under police questioning to have beaten the child.
