Georgia Mother Sentenced to Life for Murdering 20-Month-Old Son Quinton Simon

Leilani Simon, convicted of malice murder and 18 other charges, will serve life in prison with the possibility of parole for killing her toddler and concealing his body in a landfill.

Leilani Simon was sentenced to life in prison, with the possibility of parole, plus an additional 10 years for concealing her son's death.
Simon was convicted of malice murder, felony murder, and 17 other charges related to the 2022 death of her 20-month-old son, Quinton Simon.
Quinton was reported missing by Simon in October 2022, prompting a large-scale search that ended when his remains were found in a landfill after weeks of investigation.
Prosecutors highlighted Simon's lack of remorse and her attempts to mislead investigators, including implicating others and fabricating stories about her son's disappearance.
Judge Tammy Stokes emphasized the profound impact of Quinton's death on the community while sentencing Simon, who requested that her son's remains be released to her family.
