A baby sitter convicted of killing her neighbors’ 9-month-old daughter in 2005 was sentenced Friday to 25 years to life in prison, authorities said.
Sunyhe Choi, 32, was caring for the daughter of Kyung Min and Seung Jeong, at Irvine’s Park West Apartments when the baby stopped breathing. The baby was taken to Irvine Regional Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. An autopsy revealed that the child had suffered several blows to the head.
Choi is married and has a 4-year-old child.
