Brownsville woman gets 22 years for beating young nephew to death
A Brownsville woman was sentenced to 22 years in prison on Thursday for beating her 4-year-old nephew to death while she was babysitting him.
Christen Dale, 24, was convicted by a jury in front of Justice Miriam Cyrulnik last month on charges that included first-degree manslaughter for the death of her nephew Ethan Ali. On Thursday, Dale was sentenced to 22 years in prison, plus five years of post-release supervision following her release.
“She took me away from my son,” said the victim’s father, Leroy Ali, during testimony. “I wish she gets the maximum sentence.”
