Mother convicted of second-degree murder in daughter's drug death

In Brockton, a 35-year old mother of 3 is sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole in 15 years because of 2nd degree murder of her 4 year old child. It was found that Carolyn Riley, the mother overdosed her little daughter on psychotropic drugs. Carolyn has been scheming to get welfare checks, as well as meds by faking that her three children have mental disorders. The father is also being tried, but at a later date, for first degree murder because he was supposedly the reason for the overdose. The little girl was found dead next to the parent's bed at 6 in the morning by the mother.
