A Brevard County woman accused of starving a child is sentenced to 40 years in state prison after the judge today said what she did was "evil."
Sharon Glass and the boy's father, Michael Marshall, were accused of caging and starving a then-12-year-old boy for weeks at a time. Investigators said the boy spent months locked up in a closet, bathroom or tied to his bed over the course of a year.
He was not always fed and when he was, it would be minimal nourishment, he testified during her trial.
This afternoon in court, Glass asked for forgiveness and mercy.
Prosecutors said she was behind the abuse and should get 45 years in prison for the crime.
