BARABOO, Wis. (AP) — The baby sitter found guilty in Sauk County of killing an infant in her care plans to appeal her conviction.
Jeanette Janusiak, of Reedsburg, was found guilty last month in the death of 4-month Payten Rain Shearer. The Baraboo News Republic says the woman’s attorney has filed paperwork in Sauk County Circuit Court of her intent to appeal the first-degree intentional homicide conviction.
The 27 year old was sentenced life in prison with the possibility of parole in 40 years.
Medical experts testified at trial that the child had been severely battered around the same time that Janusiak called 911.
