An American blogger has been sentenced to life in prison after she threw her autistic six-year-old son from a bridge.
Jillian McCabe, 36, pleaded guilty to the murder of her son, London, in 2014, news.com.au reports.
Prosecutors accused her of faking mental illness in order to get off with an insanity defence.
District Attorney Michelle Branam said in a statement that McCabe was “very calculated” in planning the homicide, after she left a trail online and in phone records including one search, “Can you die falling 133 ft in water?”
Branam said an autopsy found the fall did not kill little London, but he suffered broken bones after the impact which lead to him drowning.
