A tearful Jennie Mattison is surrounded by security personnel as she listens as her lawyer Tucker Stanclift address Warren County Judge John Hall during her sentencing hearing Tuesday, July 23, 2013. She was sentenced 1 to 3 years in prison for hindering the prosecution in the beating death of her son, Gary Carpenter III, by her boyfriend, Brandon Warrington. "I think every day abou Gary. I cry every night. I regret not protecting him like I should have," Mattison told the court.
