Mankato, MN (KROC-AM News) - The death of a young child at St. Mary s Hospital in Rochester has resulted in a 7 1/2 year prison sentence for the baby s mother.
28-year-old Chelsea Olinger was given the 90-month sentence this morning during a hearing in Blue Earth County Court, where she previously pleaded guilty to a first-degree manslaughter charge.
