She had agreed to testify against her mother, who was sentenced in April after also pleading guilty to murder.
Her plea agreement with prosecutors had called for the 30-year sentence.Authorities said that not long after Clarisa Figueroa’s adult son died of natural causes, she told her family she was pregnant.
