State Attorney Angela Corey has worked closely on the case from the beginning.
Baby deaths, as hard as they are to handle, they are difficult cases and it all hinges on the evidence. We did not have much evidence on Lonna Barton; therefore, shes only looking at a maximum of five years, Corey said. People cant compare one baby death to another. Sometimes if the proof is overwhelming, we can get a life sentence for first-degree murder, and sometimes like in poor little Lonzies case, the proof just isnt there, and we do the best we can.
