MARION, Ind. (AP) — A northern Indiana woman convicted of murder in the strangulation death of her 10-year-old stepdaughter was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Amanda Carmack, of Gas City, was sentenced during a hearing Wednesday. A jury convicted her last month on murder, strangulation, neglect and battery charges in the killing of Skylea Carmack. She was arrested days after her stepdaughter's body was found in trash bags in a shed behind the family's home in September of 2019. When questioned by police, Amanda Carmack admitted to strangling the girl in the shed.
Carmack first stood trial for the killing last year, but the judge declared a mistrial after four people involved in the proceedings tested positive for COVID-19. She was retried this year and convicted.
Carmack's attorney, who argued during the trial that the slaying was not premeditated, told WANE-TV that he would appeal the conviction.

Some parents routinely sacrifice their own wants and needs in order to provide for their kids.
Janis Higgins was a child when she met the man who would become her father. Just a few weeks before he asked Janis’s mom to marry him, he made a personal sacrifice in order to be the kind of father he wanted to be for his new family; he sold his green 1973 Corvette Stingray to help pay for the expenses of now having a wife and two step-kids.
Forty years later, Janis is a successful businesswoman from Austin, Texas, and she decided it was time to repay her dad for letting his dream car go all those years ago. Conspiring with her family members, the Higgins family arranged for an incredible surprise for their patriarch.
In a video that is going seriously viral online, we see Janis and her dad heading across a sunlit parking lot after enjoying a family brunch. Dad immediately spots a gorgeous green muscle car parked in the lot a short distance away. He starts pointing out the different features to his family, explaining that it was exactly like the car he had.
He spends several moments happily admiring the car, but it’s not until Janis calls him to the back to take a look at the license plate that we understand the true depths of a daughter’s gratitude. The license plate reads, “YDHT,” which Janis sweetly explained means “you didn’t have to.”
She holds out the keys and grins up at the man who gave up so much in order to provide for her and her brother. Her dad has no words for several moments, but when what she’s done sinks in he folds her into his arms and sobs gently. He seems so moved by this kindness, and it’s impossible to watch this tender moment without the emotions bubbling up!
Janis’s dad couldn’t wait to hop into the car and take his daughter for a test drive. Something tells us he’ll get much more pleasure out of driving this car now than he ever would have gotten all those years ago!
What a beautiful way to repay your dad! Watch Janis giving her dad an incredible gift in the video below, and be sure to share .

Internet commenters backed up one mother who refuses to accommodate her 11-year-old daughter's request for a fully-equipped, suite-style bedroom.
In a viral Reddit post published on the popular r/AmITheA**hole forum, Redditor u/throwaway65637 (otherwise referred to as the original poster, or OP) described the tension gripping her blended family and said her 16-year-old stepdaughter will receive her own suite, despite accusations of favoritism from other family members.
Titled, "[Am I the a**hole] for giving my step daughter the best room out of all our kids?" the post has received nearly 7,000 upvotes and 2,500 comments in the last day.
"My husband [and] I are moving into our dream house," OP began. "We have 4 children. My step daughter Ella (16), our daughter Jane (11), our son Sam (9) & our daughter Luna (6)."
Continuing to explain that the family's new home comes with six bedrooms, OP said her stepdaughter is moving into a suite, while the identical suite will be turned into a living space for guests.
OP also said that her 11-year-old daughter will move into a "normal" bedroom, with her own adjacent bathroom.
Unfortunately, adjacent is not the same as all-inclusive.
"Jane was under the impression that she and Ella would be getting the 2 rooms with the bathrooms," OP wrote. "We let her know one of those would be [a] guest room and since Ella is the oldest she deserves the other.
"Jane thinks this is unfair," OP continued. "[She] has not been handling this well and a few family members she's spoken to think I'm putting 'someone else's child over my own.'
"Jane has struggled with some jealousy...[and she] is also 11," OP added. "She does not need an en suite bathroom more than adult guests...and will have an en suite at 13...once Ella leaves for school."
Blended families , in which at least one parent is accompanied by a child from a previous relationship, are prevalent across the United States.
Last year, data published by Smart Stepfamilies revealed that 40 percent of married couples with children are step-couples .
Data published by Pew Research Center also revealed that of the 73 million children in the U.S., 16 percent are living in blended families, a figure that has remained stable since the 1990s.
But even with roughly 12 million children living with a stepparent, stepsiblings or both, the transition from nuclear family, or single parent household to blended family is not always smooth .
And according to lifestyle website Love to Know , a major contributor to tension among blended families is territorial infringement.
"Children in blended families may have difficulties with one another's turf," licensed clinical psychologist and Love to Know contributor Mona Bapat, Ph.D., said. "If one half of the new family moves into the home of the other half, expect considerable amounts of fights and tears.
"The children whose home it was originally may feel threatened by others taking over parts of their space," Bapat continues. "The children moving into the home may not be happy either because they may feel like the place is not 'theirs' and they are not welcome."
On multiple occasions, however, OP dispelled the notion that her daughter's reaction to not receiving her own suite at 11 years old was the result of a territorial dispute.
Instead, OP placed blame on the plight of younger siblings all around the world, gaining support from Redditors throughout the viral post's comment section in the process.
"I'm absolutely mind boggled by the number of people upset that the OLDEST child gets a better room," Redditor u/Cynthia_Castillo677 exclaimed in the post's top comment, which has received more than 19,000 upvotes. "That's the way my family, and every family's home I've ever visited sets things up.
"Then when the oldest kid leaves, the next oldest gets the room," they continued. "That is perfectly fair and it's disgusting the number of people who are saying the [16-year-old] doesn't deserve the big room because she's not related to OP by blood."
"Jane is 11, she doesn't need her own room with a bathroom attached," Redditor u/rationalitypeaked12 chimed in, receiving more than 2,000 upvotes. "When she's 13...she'll have the room she wants. It's not a big deal for her to wait."
Redditor u/bunnyball88, whose comment has received more than 7,000 upvotes, offered a similar perspective.
"At some point kids have to realize that having enough doesn't mean getting everything," they wrote. "Jane has her own room and her own bathroom...that's far more than 'enough.'
"It's your house. If you want to teach your kids that, yes, guests get a certain amount of generosity - that's your call," they added. "You are entitled to...prioritization...and not give in to foot-stomping."
