@PayrollNerd - there was nothing about Smith's case in the article. Is there anything "new" in the court site about her?

TIA!

Man sentenced to life with no parole after molesting, killing toddler

A man accused of molesting and beating a toddler in 2018 in Laurens pled guilty Thursday and has been sentenced to life with no parole, according to the Eighth Circuit Solicitor’s Office.

William Ryan Looper pled guilty to murder, first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor and two counts of unlawful neglect of a child involving victim’s murder, according to Solicitor David Stumbo.

A judge sentenced Looper to life in prison for murder, 60 years for criminal sexual conduct and 20 years for unlawful neglect of a child. All the sentences will also run concurrently.

Looper avoided the death penalty because he pled guilty to the charges.

Well that was a great result. Saved the court's time and money and he will never see the light of day again. The mother is most likely defending her charges. Was she at home when all this was going down or does she have an alibi? MOO

From what I have read - she was working while he watched Brantley.
