Shaquan Duley Sentenced to 35 Years in Prison

Orangeburg, SC (WOLO)–An Orangeburg mother who pleaded guilty to suffocating her two sons was sentenced to 35 years in prison for each count of murder. We are told Circuit Judge Edgar Dickson sentenced Shaquan Duley, telling her she was the person responsible for protecting her children. Duley admitted earlier this month to suffocating her two sons, an eighteen month old and two year old. Her attorney claimed she tried to commit suicide the night of their deaths and was depressed over a fight with her mom. Duley was sentenced to concurrent 35 year sentences in the deaths of both of her sons. Since the sentences are concurrent, Duley will serve 35 years in prison for both charges.
