HORRY COUNTY, SC (WOLO) – An Horry County woman will spend 25 years in prison for putting her newborn daughter in an apartment dumpster.
A judge sentenced Shelby Taylor after she was convicted of attempted murder last week.
In 2015, prosecutors say Taylor gave birth at home while her husband and 16-month-old daughter slept.
She then wrapped the baby in a trash bag and placed her in the dumpster.
The newborn was later found by two boys but survived.
Defense attorneys argue Taylor suffered from a sever form of postpartum depression.
