Two teenage girls convicted of murdering a Lake Elsinore mother so they could steal her car and go to Knott's Berry Farm received lengthy prison sentences Friday along with harsh words from the judge.

Judge F. Paul Dickerson III called the girls "child monsters" as he explained that the "horrendous nature" of the defendants' crime outweighed their youth.

"A crime of such viciousness can scarcely be imagined," Dickerson said.

From December 2009:

Anna Alejandra Salinas, who was 15 when she shot 20-year-old Angelina Arias in the head as the woman gave Salinas and co-defendant Dayana Cordova ride home, was sentenced to 59 years to life in prison.

Because of her age at the time of the Oct. 18, 2007, murder, Salinas, now 17, could not be sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. But Cordova, who was 16 at the time, was sentenced to life without parole.

Cordova, now 18, also received a nine-year sentence for child abuse and kidnapping because she and Salinas drove around with the victim's 9-month-old daughter for about two hours before leaving her on someone's Lake Elsinore doorstep. The baby was not found by the home's residents for at least two hours.

Their appeals were denied in 2011 by a California appellate court.
