An El Paso County woman was sentenced to a total of 55 years in state prison as a result of her newborn baby's death two years ago.

Amy Carr agreed to reduced charges and pleaded guilty to second degree murder and tampering with a deceased human body, both felonies.

The judge in the case, Thomas Kelly Kane, immediately sentenced Carr to 48 years behind bars on the murder count and an additional seven years on the tampering.

A relative called 9-1-1 on Jan. 23, 2021 to report an unresponsive newborn baby "lying partially buried in her yard," according to CBS affiliate KKTV. The baby girl's name was Lilly.

Carr turned 19 years old two days after the incident.

Carr was arrested five months later.

On Friday, defense attorneys recounted Carr’s troubled past, with Carr allegedly living in 23 different locations from ages 5 to 14.

According to the defense, Carr also experienced “extreme repeated sexual and physical abuse” throughout this time.

But the prosecution focused on what could have been if Lilly had been allowed to live.


“It’s true that Miss Carr had a tough upbringing,” Andrew Vaughan, Chief Deputy District Attorney for the Fourth Judicial District, said. “But Lilly didn’t have any upbringing, and that’s because Miss Carr took her life.”

“Lilly came into this world unloved, and Lilly left this world unloved,” Vaughan said. “Her father didn’t love her; her mother didn’t love her.”

The judge sentenced Carr to 48 years for 2nd-degree murder and seven years for tampering with a human body. The sentences will run consecutively for a total of 55 years. The sentence includes five years of parole after she is released. Carr had 687 days already served, according to information provided in court.
