A 30-year-old mother in Alabama will spend more than two decades behind bars in connection with the killing of her 18-month-old son, who was beaten to death by her boyfriend five years ago.

A judge in Blount County ordered Samantha McCormack — who stopped to buy cigarettes on the way to the emergency room — to serve 25 years in a state correctional facility for the 2019 slaying of young Enzo McCormack.

Samantha McCormack previously pleaded guilty to felony murder in the course of child abuse.

The boyfriend, 32-year-old Robert Elmore Jr., was found guilty of capital murder by intentional murder of a person less than 14 years of age and aggravated child abuse of a child less than 6 years of age last year and subsequently sentenced to life in prison without the possibility for parole. The aggravated abuse conviction stemmed from Elmore’s beating of Enzo’s brother.

“This story is horrifying. I cannot imagine the pain and suffering this child endured before succumbing to his injuries. I cannot understand someone doing what Elmore did. But, as a mother, I cannot understand how a mother could leave their child in the care of someone the mother knows to have been abusive to the child,” Blount County District Attorney Pamela Casey said in a statement. “Elmore and McCormack will be held accountable within the extent the law allows.”
