Davenport, Ia (AP) — A woman from Chicago has been sentenced to 50 years in prison on charges stemming from the beating death of her 5-year-old son in Iowa.
Jacqueline Rambert was sentenced Friday in Davenport after pleading guilty to two child endangerment charges.
Her co-defendant, Tre Henderson, was convicted of murder and faces life in prison. He is scheduled to be sentenced on April 1st.
Prosecutors say Ja’Shawn Bussell had 17 broken ribs and bruises from the top of his head to his ankles after Henderson beat him in April 2018.
Henderson and Rambert are from Chicago and were living in a Davenport apartment when the boy was beaten.
