A woman accused of trying to kill her fiance's infant daughter entered into a plea agreement. Alicia Hocter was originally charged with attempted deliberate homicide for allegedly hitting the two-month old baby's head against a crib several times, nearly killing her.

According to court documents, Hocter admitted to injuring her finance's daughter. The baby suffered permanent neurological damage and is now blind. Monday (11/16), Hocter pleaded guilty to amended felony charges of aggravated assault and criminal endangerment.

The State is recommending a 30-year prison sentence with 12 years suspended.
Sentencing is scheduled for February 25th.

I do not think woman like Alicia should get deals. Then are they going to get her a hysterectomy. She will have more kids then one will end up dead at her hands. She should serve the full 30.
