Plainfield woman freed in infant's death
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A former Bellarmine University athlete will be released from a Louisville jail today after being sentenced to two years in prison, and put on probation for five years, in the death of her baby in a campus dorm.
Plainfield, Ind., resident Kathryn McCoy, who was found guilty of tampering with physical evidence in the Oct. 24, 2006, death of her baby in her dorm, was sentenced at 9 a.m.
The judge released her, giving her credit for time served in Metro Corrections.
Her roommates testified that McCoy, who played on the school’s golf team, hid her pregnancy and never asked for help on the night of Oct. 23, 2007, as she gave birth. Two roommates found the baby’s body after McCoy put the infant in a trash bag and took it down the hall to a trash room.
A jury found McCoy not guilty of murder, manslaughter, and reckless homicide.
