Campobello woman gets 20 years in breast milk homicide of daughter


A Campobello woman was sentenced to 20 years in prison after she was found guilty of killing her infant daughter with the drugs in her breast milk.

After a four-day jury trial, 39-year-old Stephanie Greene was found guilty of homicide by child abuse, involuntary manslaughter and unlawful conduct toward a child in the 2010 death of her 46-day-old daughter, Alexis.

On Nov. 13, 2010, the baby was found dead in her parent's bed, according to solicitor Barry Barnett.

When the coroner's office investigators arrived at the scene, Greene was slurring her words, had unfocused eyes and appeared disoriented, according to testimony at the trial.

Barnett said a toxicology report showed a toxic level of morphine in Greene's blood, liver and brain. He said other drugs were also in her system, including Klonopin.
