Victim Aiden Lopez<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

LANCASTER – A Palmdale woman convicted of second-degree murder for the death of a nearly 5-month-old boy who was left in her care was sentenced Friday to 25 years to life in state prison.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brittany Ann Ingrassi<\/strong>, 31, was also found guilty May 9 of assault on a child causing death, assault on a child becoming comatose and child abuse.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jurors found true allegations that Ingrassi personally inflicted great bodily injury on the boy and that he was under the age of 5.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingrassi’s attorney, Nancy Mazza, contends that the injuries to Aiden Lopez were caused by a French bulldog owned by the baby’s family.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We firmly believe the injuries came from the dog,” she said after the verdict. “I respect the jury’s verdict, but we will appeal.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The baby was left under Ingrassi’s care at his Lancaster home the morning of March 22, 2016, prosecutors said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The boy’s mother returned that evening and was met by Ingrassi outside the home and \u00a0made aware that the baby was not breathing, according to court testimony.<\/span><\/p>\n

The mother called 911, and her son — who had suffered skull fractures and a traumatic brain injury — was taken to a local hospital, where he died four days later, according to the District Attorney’s Office.<\/span><\/p>\n
