Matthew Roland, 24, pleaded no contest to first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse. Circuit Judge Ysleta McDonald sentenced him to a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole.
State Attorney Bill Cervone initially sought the death penalty for Roland because of the nature of Kristina's death. The life sentence was part of a plea deal that avoided trial.
Folds was charged with child neglect with great bodily harm. She received five years' probation as part of a plea deal in the case. Prosecutors identified Folds as the key witness against Roland.
