Kansas Mother Sentenced to Life After Toddler Fatally Shoots Sister

Mariann Belair found guilty of aggravated child endangerment and first-degree murder; parole possible after 25 years

Belair's two-year-old son accidentally shot his four-year-old sister with a loaded gun left on a couch.
The incident occurred while Belair was at home with her three young children.
Belair testified that she was distracted by her daughter asking for a photo.
A search of the home revealed methamphetamine and paraphernalia.
Belair's new attorney has requested a new trial, citing poor advice from her previous lawyer.
