A 30-year-old mother in Illinois will spend more than three decades behind bars after admitting to beating her 8-month-old daughter to death because the infant would not stop crying. Twelfth Judicial Circuit Court Judge Daniel Rippy on Friday ordered Shanquilla Garvey to serve a sentence of 35 years in a state correctional facility for the brutal slaying of young Cherish Freeman, authorities announced.

Garvey previously pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree murder for killing the child, who died on Christmas Eve in 2017 from a spate of horrific injuries. In addition to the prison sentence — which Garvey will have to serve in full, with no chance of early parole — she will also be required to serve three years of supervised release.

Prosecutors applauded the sentence, but lamented that no punishment could give the victim the life she deserved.

“For a mother to beat her own baby to death is incomprehensible,” Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow said in a statement following the sentencing hearing. “Cherish was taken from this earth simply because Shanquilla Garvey wanted her to stop crying. This precious baby girl’s last experience was one of trauma and suffering, something no prison sentence can ever undo.”
