2-month-old Leonard Williams was brought to a hospital emergency room on April 29, 2014, he was already deceased. An autopsy showed that Leonard died of malnutrition and dehydration.
Leonard lived with his bio-donors Rebekah Williams-McCarthy and Michael Williams, his siblings ages 1 and 2 in an apartment littered with dirty diapers and trash.
Leonard was being fed sugar water because his mother would not pick up vouchers for baby formula nor did she take Leonard to medical appointments.
Williams-McCarthy did buy Adderall and marijuana for Williams to calm his nerves and keep him from falling asleep while watching the children, who he admitted to leaving alone for long periods of time.
After Leonard's death his two siblings were saved from a life of abuse and neglect.
Michael Williams was sentenced to 25 years in prison for neglect of a dependent person, child endangerment resulting in serious injury and child endangerment resulting in bodily injury.
Williams declined to make a statement before he was sentenced. Members of Williams' family also had no comment after the hearing.
With good behavior and other credits earned while in prison, Williams' sentence could be cut by more than half.
