Pamella Shelton has been sentenced to life in prison for felony murder and aggravated child abuse in the death of her 2-year-old step-granddaughter, Rosalie Rawls.
WETUMPKA, Ala. - An Elmore County judge has handed down sentencing for a Wetumpka woman convicted of killing her step-granddaughter.
Prosecutors say the death of 2-year-old Rosalie Rawls in July 2017 resulted from Shelton violently shaking the toddler and slamming her head against a hard surface. Testimony at trial detailed “extensive head injuries and abusive head trauma.”Elmore County District Attorney CJ Robinson previously said investigators believe Shelton did it out of pent up frustration.
