Mother convicted of starving and abusing adopted daughters learns her fate

A woman accused of starving and abusing her three adopted daughters has learned her fate.

Echo Terry, 31, was convicted on 15 different charges in August of 2018, including counts of second-degree assault. The now-adoptive father of the three girls, along with the state prosecution, advocated for the maximum sentence of 27 years in prison.

Thursday, Judge Michael Wolverton acknowledged the serious nature of the crimes, but said the blame also lies with others who didn’t report this abuse earlier.
