Liz Carroll Sentenced to Life for Murder of Marcus Fiesel

Liz Carroll who yesterday found guilty in the death of her foster child Marcus Fiesel was today sentenced to life in prison.

BATAVIA, Ohio (AP) A woman was sentenced Thursday to life in prison with parole for killing her 3-year-old developmentally disabled foster son by binding him in blankets and tape and leaving him inside a closet for a weekend.

A day earlier, jurors convicted Liz Carroll, 30, of murder and other charges. Under the life sentence for murder, she has no possibility for parole for 15 years. Some of the other sentences must be served consecutively.

Judge Robert Ringland told Carroll that no matter how much she blamed other people, she had to accept responsibility. He also said she hadn’t seemed sorry for the boy’s death.
