(KAIR)--A Leavenworth woman, convicted in August on two counts related to the endangerment and death of a 1-year-old child she was caring for, will serve probation.

Liberti Figueroa, convicted for aggravated endangering a child during an August, two day, Leavenworth County District Court trial, was acquitted of involuntary manslaughter.

A sentencing hearing held Wednesday, according to a release from the office of Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, resulted in the 24-year-old receiving a suspended, 12-month prison sentence to be served on probation, with Figeuroa having already served 5-months, 18-days in the Leavenworth County Jail.

The charges stemmed from two separate incidents involving the same child, with one in September, 2023, resulting in the child being burned, while the other, occurring October 18 that same year, with the child, reported not breathing, transported to a Leavenworth hospital where they were later pronounced dead.
