Mother in Georgia sentenced to life for murder of son Quinton Simon, whose body was discovered in landfill

Leilani Simon from Georgia was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of her 20-month-old son, Quinton Simon, whose remains were found in a landfill. Simon reported Quinton missing in 2022, sparking a large search that ended in tragedy. The judge, Tammy Stokes, acknowledged the impact of Quinton’s life and death on the community before sentencing Simon. Authorities quickly suspected Simon of foul play and later found Quinton’s body in a landfill, leading to her arrest and indictment on murder charges. It was alleged that Simon caused Quinton’s death with an unknown object and disposed of his body in a trash bin near their home. Simon was convicted of murder and related charges last month and was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole. During the sentencing, Simon nodded in acknowledgment but did not speak. Stokes expressed a hope for peace at the end of the hearing. The case has brought attention to the tragic death of Quinton and the impact on those involved in the community.
