Prosecutors said a woman who pleaded guilty in the 2021 death of her boyfriend’s 5-year-old Houston son has agreed to a 52-year prison sentence on Wednesday.
"This woman robbed the world of a little boy with a big smile and bright future, and there is no prison sentence long enough for someone like her," Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said in a statement.
Anthony Osso, Balboa’s attorney, said his client will be eligible for parole after serving half her sentence.
"She didn’t want to put the victim’s family through a trial, nor did she want to risk dying in prison ultimately. She has some light at the end of the tunnel with this alternative," Osso said in a telephone interview following the hearing.
