Eight to 15 years in prison, that's the sentence for a local 20-year-old who police say delivered a baby and then disposed of the infant in a dumpster.

Nicole Kipfmiller blew kisses to her family as she was led away from court to serve her sentence.

December of 2009, police say she delivered a live baby then disposed of it in this party store dumpster near her home in Bay County's Williams Township.

Kipfmiller pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter and disposal of a dead body.

Tamela Kipfmiller, Nicole's mother, tells NBC25, "She did take a lie detector test that was approved by both the prosecutor and the attorney and passed all questions given for that. She did pass the question that she did not dispose of the baby in the dumpster."

Bay County Assistant Prosecutor Nancy Borushko says, "I think it's always difficult when you have a victim that's a child, that true innocence in the world, and then do their best to just be kids and they're victimized like this."

Kipfmiller's family says Nicole pleaded because she was threatened with life in prison.

They say someone else put the baby in the dumpster.
