A woman accused of abandoning her infant in a box beside a South Carolina highway in 2008 will serve four years in prison.
Sahr faced between two and 30 years in prison for voluntary manslaughter. She entered a so-called Alford plea last September, which maintained her innocence while recognizing that the evidence would likely result in a guilty verdict if the case went to trial.
Ronald Woodham III, Baby Horry's father, told the judge he had compassion for Sahr but questioned what message a"slap on the wrist" would send.
