Prosecutors want a 45-year prison sentence for Elizabeth Escalona, who pleaded guilty in July to felony injury of a child. Defense attorneys are pleading for a lenient sentence, perhaps probation.
State District Judge Larry Mitchell will decide Escalona's sentence.
Police say Escalona kicked 2-year-old Jocelyn Cedillo in the stomach, beat her with a milk jug, then stuck her hands to an apartment wall with an adhesive commonly known as Super Glue.
Jocelyn suffered bleeding in her brain, a fractured rib, bruises and bite marks, and was comatose for two days.
