Except for the sniffling of family members, two packed courtrooms were largely silent Dec. 3 as new details emerged about 18-month-old Elaina Steinfurth’s last hours and two life sentences were handed down to her mother and mother’s ex-boyfriend for her death.

According to prosecutors, Angela Steinfurth became frustrated when Elaina wouldn’t stop crying. She grabbed the toddler by a limb and threw her across a bedroom, where she hit the wall, bed and floor. The next morning, both panicking over the extent of her injuries, Steven W. King smothered Elaina with his hand until she stopped breathing, then hid her body in the garage.
