Jeanne Moore was sentenced Thursday in Kent County Superior Court. Moore agreed to cooperate in the prosecution of her husband Dereke Moore, who faces charges of abusing a corpse, murder by abuse, and child endangerment resulting in death.
Moore told authorities the baby she delivered on a toilet in November was stillborn, and that her husband put the baby's body in a trash bin at a Dover hotel. It was found there days later.
According to a police warrant, the baby landed face down in the toilet and remained there.
A preliminary finding by the medical examiner's office indicated the child was stillborn. The couple was charged after a forensic investigation showed the baby was alive at birth.
