A former University of Kentucky cheerleader who admitted to killing her newborn son, whose lifeless body was found stuffed in a trash bag, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison. Laken Snelling, 22, pleaded guilty at Fayette Circuit Court in August to first-degree manslaughter, abuse of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence and concealing the birth of an infant. She was sentenced to 10 years Friday after telling the court at the previous plea hearing, “Instead of helping him, I ended his life,” according to WLEX.
