BURLINGTON — A Coffey County woman will spend more than 13 years in state prison for the death of her newborn son. Karen Marie Bailey, 23, Leroy, was sentenced today after she pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and aggravated endangerment of a child last month, Attorney General Derek Schmidt said. Bailey gave birth to her son on April 2, 2011, in her car between Iola, where she worked, and Leroy. She then left the infant unattended in the car for several hours, resulting in his death.
