Mother set newborn on fire

Mother who set newborn alight jailed for 30 years

A New Jersey woman convicted of killing her newborn daughter by setting her on fire last year was sentenced on Friday to 30 years in state prison, prosecutors said.

Hyphernkemberly Dorvilier, 23, of Pemberton Township, a Philadelphia suburb, must serve at least 25-and-a-half years before she is eligible for parole, Burlington County prosecutor Robert Bernardi said. Dorvilier pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter on February 29 in the baby’s death in Mount Holly, New Jersey, in January.
