Judge Salvador Vasquez agreed that the state’s argument for the maximum sentence was valid but ultimately decided it wasn’t appropriate. He sentenced her to 50 years with five years of probation and then lifetime parole.
A woman convicted of killing her 18-month-old foster child has been sentenced to 50 years in prison for the crime.
“What the court is left with is two aggravating factors: Emma’s age because she was defenseless, and the position of trust. Miss Hodge chose to take the kids on when they were removed from their mother’s care. She not only violated their mother’s trust, but she violated the trust of the state.” “You failed, and you failed horribly,” Vasquez said. “Your obligation was to bring her home, and it didn’t occur.”
Autopsy findings showed the girl suffered a possible dislocation of vertebrae in her neck and died of asphyxia due to suffocation, which was complicated by blunt force trauma to the head. The child also had bleeding on the brain, the probable cause affidavit states.
