A Wisconsin woman reached a plea deal after her son accused her of killing her daughter 56 years ago according to The Los Angeles Times.
Ruby Klokow, who is now 76-years-old, was sentenced to 45 days in jail and 10 years of probation this week. Her son, James Klokow Jr., stated in court that he and his siblings were abused by his mother throughout their lives.
"I don't want nothing to do with my mother anymore," James Klokow said according to The Huffington Post. "I don't consider her my mother."
Her son feared telling the police about his sister in 2011 because he thought it was too late, but finally he felt it was the right thing to do no matter what happened.
James stated in court that he was routinely kicked in the knees by his mother while she was wearing steel toed boots. He also told the judge that she would "beat" his mentally challenged brother's toes with a hammer on occasion before the two ran away from home when they were teenagers.
Since the crime scene was long gone and case fillies are now missing, Sheboygan County District Attorney Joe DeCecco stated that "half the people that were around" back then are either dead or too old to remember what happened.
Rudy Klokow claimed that it was her sons fault his sister had died, as he had been crying in another room when she claims to have went to go check on him. While she was away from her daughter, Jeaneen, she had fallen off the couch.
This story was proven false during the court case however. Detectives were able to get Ruby Klokow to fess up that she threw her daughter at a couch, which caused her death in 1959 according to The Los Angeles Times.
The original autopsy showed that her daughter suffered two brain hemorrhages, a collapsed lunch, and three scalp bruises according to the Associated Press. The medical experts who reviewed the old autopsy stated that there was no way Ruby's story, that the baby fell off the couch, was true.
"She stated she shouldn't have had any children, wished that she never had children, and knew she was 'mean' to them," Detective Paul Olsen said according to The Los Angeles Times.
