Sentencing delayed for mother convicted in death of baby boy

A woman convicted in the death of her one-year-old son will have to wait to learn her fate. 

Giltanan Ramangmou was set to be sentenced before Superior Court Judge Vernon Perez this week. 

Defense telling the court Ramangmou would be testifying ahead of sentencing. 

But the hearing was delayed three weeks after the courts were forced to close operations in preparation of Tropical Storm Man-Yi. 

She is now scheduled to appear back in court on December 3rd. 

Ramangmou faces 10 years in prison.

As we reported, a jury found Ramangmou guilty of negligent homicide and child abuse.

The murder case unfolded last November at Ramangmou’s home in Dededo.

Authorities arrived to find the young boy lifeless.

Ramangmou told 911 operators that her son had bumped his head and fallen out of the crib.

However, prosecutors pointed out during the trial that Ramangmou later admitted to police she had been changing bed sheets and forgot the baby was on the bed, resulting in the child hitting the wall and falling to the ground.
