NEW CITY, N.Y. (AP) — A young mother who admitted strangling her newborn son and leaving his body in a recycling container outside a convenience store was sentenced Monday to 12 years in prison and deportation.

Maria Guaman-Guaman, 24, of Spring Valley, had been allowed to plead guilty to manslaughter in June after mental health experts testified she had brain damage from being kicked by a horse at age 7, had an IQ of 53 and had suffered from extreme emotional disturbance.
