Kirsten Pemberton pleaded guilty to infanticide and concealing the dead body of her child.
The court considered sentencing principles, including denunciation, deterrence, and rehabilitation, particularly in light of the diminished moral blameworthiness recognized for infanticide due to a disturbed mind.
The court also addressed credit for pre-trial custody and strict bail conditions.
A conditional sentence of one year for infanticide and six months concurrently for concealment was imposed, followed by two years of probation and a 20-year common law peace bond requiring notification of future pregnancies and medical care.
