Wisconsin mother sentenced for crash that killed her toddler
BAYFIELD, Wis. - A mother convicted in a traffic crash that killed her 2-year-old daughter has been sentenced in Bayfield County to prison time.
Chelsea Cadotte was given 2 years behind bars Monday for the death of Mariah Gordon and critical injuries to three other children in her SUV, none of whom were wearing safety restraints.
