PORTALES, N.M. (KRQE) - A mother and daughter sentenced to 30 plus years in prison for the death of an infant at their daycare, want their convictions thrown out or a new trial. Their attorneys took the case to the New Mexico Supreme Court Wednesday, arguing this was just a tragic accident and the women, are paying a steep price for it.

"I know I will carry this with me every day for the rest of my life," said Mary Taylor. That was Taylor at her sentencing in March of 2019. Mary and her daughter Sandi were convicted in the death of 22-month-old Maliyah Jones and injuries to then 2-year-old Aubri Loya. Prosecutors believe the two girls were left in a hot car for almost three hours while at the Taylor Tots Daycare in Portales in July 2017. The women both apologized to the victims' families at sentencing.
