(KNSI) – A father and stepmother have been sentenced for causing the death of an 8-year-old girl in Elk River.
Brett Jason Hallow and Sarah Kay Hallow were each sentenced to 40 years in prison on Thursday. During a June court appearance, the Hallows admitted to beating and starving Autumn Hallow in the days and weeks before she ultimately died in the couple’s apartment in August 2020.
In addition to pleading guilty to second-degree murder, the two pleaded guilty to several charges related to the abuse of other children in the home.
