MOM GETS LIFE IN INFANT'S OVERDOSE

RIVERSIDE, Calif. ­ A woman whose baby overdosed on methamphetamine,
possibly contained in the mother's breast milk, was sentenced to life in
prison for his murder.

Amy Leanne Prien, 31, was sentenced Thursday in the death of 3-month-old
Jacob Wesley Smith, who was found dead in her home Jan. 19, 2002.

Prosecutors said the baby ingested methamphetamine either from breast milk
or tainted baby bottle liners used to package the drug in Ms. Prien's home.

Ms. Prien, who has three other children, was found guilty last month of
second-degree murder, four counts of child endangerment and misdemeanor
drug possession.

Prosecutors said they aggressively prosecuted Ms. Prien as a deterrent to
other drug users.
