A Wayne County mother found guilty of murder last month has been sentenced to 60 years in prison for the death of her infant son more than a year ago.

Amy Hockett and Joseph Pierson, who were 21 and 24 at the time of the incident, were charged in February 2012 in the death of their 3-month-old son, Khaiden, who was found not breathing in a Richmond home on 12th Street.

Wayne County Prosecutor Mike Shipman said Hockett showed no remorse for her son’s death by starvation.

She was also convicted on two counts of neglect of a dependent.

Pierson was found not guilty on the murder charge, but the jury decided he was guilty but mentally ill on charges of reckless homicide and two counts of neglect of a dependent. His sentencing was also scheduled for today, but was continued until a later date, according to court records.

According to an affidavit filed by Shipman last year, an autopsy report said Khaiden was extremely malnourished. According to the affidavit, police discovered piles of feces and dirty diapers on the floor of the room where the boy was sleeping.

Hospital officials working on Khaiden alerted police after discovering that his skin appeared to be leathery and sagging from his body, an indication of severe dehydration. Khaiden also had sores in his genital and buttocks area, and weighed 6 pounds, 2 ounces at the time of his death, hospital officials told police.

The parents told police Khaiden had an acid reflux problem.

“I’m being accused of hurting the only thing that gives me a reason to breathe. I love that baby,” Hockett told News Center 7 before she was arrested. “They can accuse whoever they want because I did not hurt my son. I would never hurt my son.”
