Mother admits to killing her newborn

A Corbin woman admitted to killing her newborn in a prison bathroom.

Ashley Cox pleaded guilty Tuesday morning to manslaughter and other charges.

A judge sentenced her to 20 years.

She gave birth back in 2010 while visiting a friend at an Oldham County prison.

Police say she stuffed the baby's mouth with toilet paper and put the body in the trash.
