A Minnesota mother will spend the rest of her life in prison for murdering her 6-year-old son.
A Hennepin County judge sentenced Julissa Thaler to life without parole Thursday.
Last year, police found 6-year-old Eli Hart shot to death in the trunk of her car. Days earlier, Dakota County Social Services had granted Thaler full custody of the boy.
The boy’s father, Tory Hart, and stepmother, Josie Josephson, also have an active civil suit against the social services agency.
“Eli was an innocent, loving 6-year-old boy. He did not deserve this,” Josephson said in court. “Eli deserved to grow and have a safe and happy life.”
Eli’s dad and Josephson detailed to the judge how special the boy was and how much it hurt to lose him.
“No one should ever have to feel this kind of pain or trauma, but we have been sentenced to a lifetime of this pain, Confusion, grief, sorrow and trauma,” Josephson said. “A lifetime without Eli.”
Police in Orono, Minnesota, arrested Thaler for Eli’s death in May.
