A 34-year-old Spokane woman has been sentenced to 62 1/2 years in prison for her role in the abuse death of her 4-year-old stepdaughter.
Adriana Lytle was sentenced Friday in the death of Summer Phelps. A day earlier, Lytle's husband and the girl's father, 30-year-old Jonathan Lytle, was sentenced to 75 years.
Adriana Lytle pleaded guilty last year to homicide by abuse with aggravated circumstances in Summer's death.
Prosecutors contended that over six months in 2006 and 2007, Summer Phelps was beaten, bitten, burned and denied food for long periods. She died March 10, 2007, submerged in the family bathtub.
