Andrea Bone, 21, is asking to be released from prison while she awaits the results of an appeal of her conviction in her daughter’s death.

Bone’s lover, Sandy McLure, 27, killed 13-month-old Carla-Nicole by repeatedly swinging her by her legs and slamming her head into a wall. McClure received a life sentence for the murder.

Bone was sentenced to three years after testimony at her trial that she simply sat by on a sofa smoking a cigarette and eating while McClure brutally murdered the child.

She is appealing that sentence, however, on the grounds that she was suffering from depression at the time.
