Logan County Prosecutor Eric Stewart said that the sentence would bring 'justice and closure to this tragic case and protect the community from the defendant.'
The woman had previously suffocated her other sons, four-year-old son Gavin and infant Niall, in April 2015 and July 2014 respectively using the same method.
Pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter and murder means that Pilkington will not face the death penalty, which is legal in the state of Ohio. The woman pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder charges. He added that the death penalty was not appropriate in this case, as noted by a state expert, because recent medical tests revealed that Pilkington has brain damage.
