Story here. Exceprt:

'A young Manhattan mother who allowed her lesbian lover to beat their 22-month-old son to death will serve more time in prison than the tot's killer.

Zahira Matos, 24, was sentenced Monday to 20 years to life behind bars - at least five years more than her lover - for staying silent about the savage beating.

Carmen Molina, 36, pummeled Yovani Matos so fiercely in September 2004 that she split his liver and fractured his leg. Both women were convicted of murder - Molina after pleading guilty last year and Matos after being found guilty earlier this year.'
