Heather Trujillo, the babysitter implicated in the death of 7-year old Zoe Garcia, has been given an 18-year suspended sentence, according to a report from Colorado NBC News affiliate 9 News. Trujillo, who was arrested along with her boyfriend Lamar Roberts, will instead spend six years in a youth offender program as part of a plea bargain. The two were charged with child abuse after acting out - in their own words - Mortal Kombat moves, kicking, punching and body slamming the young girl in December of last year.
Roberts' trial has not yet been set, but Trujillo will testify against him as part of her plea agreement.
