Freezer mom sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole
Freezer showed no remorse for killing two of her four children and stuffing the bodies in a home freezer, as she was sentenced Friday to life in prison without parole.
Mitchelle Blair, 36, was charged, convicted and sentenced less than four months after an eviction crew discovered the children’s bodies in the freezer in March.
She pleaded guilty to first-degree murder late last month for killing her 13-year-old daughter, Stoni, in 2013 and 9-year-old son, Stephen, in 2012 after torturing and beating them.
‘I don’t feel no remorse for the death of them demons,’ Blair said previously.

‘As horrendous as everybody thinks I am — that’s fine,’ Blair told the court on Friday as she lashed out against one of the fathers of her children who filed an impact statement with the judge
She claims they had sexually abused a sibling, though she didn’t witness the alleged assaults and never reported anything to police.
Prosecutor Carin Goldfarb said there was no evidence of sexual assault.
She described how she poured scalding water on the victims, beat them with sticks and put trash bags over their heads.
The mother was also said to have starved her daughter, limiting her to one meal of oatmeal per day, before choking her with a t-shirt and suffocating her with a plastic bag.
Her surviving teenage daughter, who was reportedly hit with a 2×4 and burned with a clothing iron by her mother, told investigators that Stephen had been choked with a belt before he died.
Blair said that she did not intentionally kill Stephen, but was proud that she had beaten him to death, according to The Detroit News.
She said, ‘If I had a chance to do it again, I would’.
‘So this was your way of inflicting punishment?’ Judge Dana Hathaway asked.
‘Definitely,’ replied Blair.
The mother underlined that sentiment at her sentencing hearing.
‘As horrendous as everybody thinks I am — that’s fine,’ Blair told Hathaway.
The judge told the mother, ‘You imposed the death penalty on your own children’.
‘As a mother, one of your primary responsibilities was to protect your kids . You failed them’.
Blair said that she would have accepted the death penalty for her crimes, but Michigan does not have capital punishment
Judge Dana Hathaway said that Blair had imposed the death penalty on her children. Above, Blair yells during a court hearing in April
