A mum-of-two who let her baby girl freeze to death in frigid winter weather as she slept just 15ft away is set to avoid jail.
Misty Marie Cutburth's 10-month-old daughter Kendall died of hypothermia on a night when the temperature had plunged to 0C.
The 24-year-old mum left the girl in a room where the windows were wide open despite the freezing air outside, and fell asleep in a room across the hall.
The baby had been exposed to "chronic methamphetamine use" in her final weeks, and police found Cutburth's fingerprints on meth paraphernalia inside the flat.
