Orangevale Mom Gets 25-to-life For Neglect Death Of Daughter

A judge today sentenced Brandy Sherrie Foreman to 25 years to life in prison for the 2006 neglect-related murder of the defendant's 12-year-old daughter, Daelynn. "This is a particularly egregious case given the vulnerability of the victim and the help that was available to the defendant," Sacramento Superior Court Judge Marjorie Koller said from the bench, just before she imposed the term on the 36-year-old Foreman of Orangevale. During the 15-minute sentencing hearing today, Foreman pulled a T-shirt up over her mouth and shielded her face from news cameras by holding up her hand. Authorities responded to the defendant's 911 call on July 31, 2006, and found the defendant's withered daughter who had suffered since birth from cerebral palsy dead in her bed.
