BISMARCK, ND – A 20-year-old Bismarck woman charged with felony child neglect following the death of her baby has been sentenced to two years of probation.
Ashlynn Seymour pleaded guilty Friday. South Central District Judge James Hill sentenced her to five years in prison with all of it suspended but the 140 days she already had been behind bars.
The boy’s father, Marcus Reineke, faces a late-March trial on the same charge. Authorities say the parents kept a filthy apartment and missed medical appointments for their son, who was born 31/2 months premature and spent three months in neonatal intensive care.
