On January 22, 2013, Efrem O'gwin entered a guilty plea to an amended charge of attempted second degree murder in the June 2011 death of an 18-month-old. Judge Wilford Carter sentenced O'gwin to 35 years in the Louisiana Department of Corrections. Assisitant District Attorney Lori Nunn prosecuted the case for the Severe Child Abuse division of the District Attorney's Office.
Nunn says the state appreciates Judge Carter taking the offer, and the victim's family agreed with the resolution of the case.
