Defense attorney Blaine Jones says 28-year-old Kiaira Pollard is "contrite" and in "tremendous pain" from the deaths of her sons, 7-year-old KiDonn Pollard Ford and 4-year-old KrisDon Pollard-Williams. She was sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter for leaving the boys alone in her North Versailles apartment before the fire broke out about 2:30 a.m. June 30.
Investigators say Pollard returned home during the fire and claimed to have hired a baby sitter, but investigators determined that wasn't true.
Jones says Pollard had no food and no one to watch her sons and "was doing the best she could do."
