Christina Latoya Lacy. 22 of Phoenix has been sentenced to 10 years in prison after failing to protect two of her daughters from a violent boyfriend, who killed one of them, a baby. Lacy, who pleaded guilty to child abuse and attempted child abuse, also was placed on lifetime probation. The sentences were handed down Friday in Maricopa County Superior Court. The boyfriend, Jonathan Ray Dudley, 23, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and child abuse and was sentenced March 18 to 35 years in prison. Prosecutors said the crimes occurred March 19, 2006, at an apartment in the 3800 block of West McDowell Road while Dudley was babysitting Lacy's three small children. When Lacy arrived home Dudley quickly departed after borrowing money from Lacy to purchase alcohol, authorities said. Ten minutes later, Lacy noticed that the baby, Zacorah, was not breathing and was lifeless on a bed with a large bruise on her stomach. Lacy called 911 and the baby was transported to a Phoenix hospital where she was pronounced dead, authorities said. Phoenix police said Lacy accused Dudley of breaking Zacorah's legs a month earlier. Police also said that after Dudley was arrested, he admitted assaulting the baby as well as striking an older sibling, a 2-year-old girl, on the back, causing the child to fall and resulting in serious internal injury. Lacy was taken into custody after authorities determined she had failed to protect the two children from Dudley.
