MAYS LANDING, N.J. (AP) - June 13, 2009 Tammy Torres of Hamilton Township must serve 85 percent of her
term before becoming eligible for parole. She also was ordered
Friday to pay $2,362 to the state's Victims of Crime Compensation
Office to cover the infant's funeral expenses.
Police found the 2-month-old girl unresponsive in her crib at
Torres' apartment in January 2008. The infant was taken to
AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center's Mainland Campus, where she
was found to have facial fractures and bleeding in her brain.
The child died two days later at a Delaware.
Torres eventually admitted she punched the infant twice in the
head out of frustration that her boyfriend wasn't around and the
child was crying.
