MOTHER OF 'BABY DOE' TO BE SENTENCED IN MURDER TRIAL
Mother Of 'Baby Doe' To Be Sentenced In Murder Trial
29 June 2017 | 17:55

The mother of 2-year-old Bella Bond, better known as “Baby

Doe,” was scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday, just a day after her former boyfriend was convicted in the death of her daughter. Rachelle Bond struck a plea deal prior to the trial that would allow her to be freed on time served at its conclusion in exchange for a guilty plea and testimony against her ex-boyfriend.

Suffolk County Superior County Judge Janet L. Sanders said in a hearing Tuesday she give final approval to the plea deal between Bond and prosecutors but that sentencing would be postponed until July 12. Bond would need to undergo treatment for drug addiction and there was currently no facility available for her to be transferred to.

“There’s no secret here about the sentence,” said Sanders, according to the Boston Globe.

Bond pleaded guilty to being an accessory in the murder in February when she admitted to helping her ex-boyfriend, Michael McCarthy, dispose of Bella’s body. McCarthy was found guilty of second-degree murder Monday, a charge that carries an automatic life sentence in Massachusetts.
