Scott City Woman Sentenced In Child Abuse Case

A western Kansas woman is going to
prison for the abuse death of her 3-month-old son.
28-year-old Marilyn Fay Hoffman of Scott
City was sentenced Friday to nearly 15 years for second-degree
intentional murder and one count of child abuse.
Hoffman has been jailed since her arrest in July 2010 after the
infant, Xavier Hoffman, died at a Wichita hospital where he was
being treated for extensive injuries.
Hoffman was initially charged with first-degree murder, but
pleaded guilty to the lesser charge last July in Scott County
District Court.
