Saying she has done her best to atone for the crime, a Cumberland County judge on Tuesday chose not to impose any more prison time on a former Carlisle woman who crippled her infant son by violently shaking him in a fit of rage 23 years ago.
Teresa Gill, now 43, already served nearly 6 years in state prison on an aggravated assault conviction, a sentence she finished more than a decade ago.
But after her son, Kurtis Reed-Miller, died in May 2018 of complications from the abuse, including brain injuries, that he suffered 20 years earlier, Gill was charged with homicide. She pleaded no contest to a third-degree murder charge last year.
