A co-accused, 24-year-old Tia Coles, also of Belleville, was also handed a conditional sentence and received six months probation when she entered a guilty plea to the same charge last May.
The pair were arrested by Belleville police in September, 2013, following an investigation into the death of an infant at a home in the city’s east end in April 2012.
