marybeth roe tinning -lrb- born september 11 , 1942 -rrb- is an american prisoner serving a sentence of 20 years to life after being convicted of the murder of one of her children .
laboratory testing indicated that the death of tinning 's ninth child resulted from smothering .
at that time , the deaths of her other children were investigated , but prosecutors only charged tinning in one child 's death .
she was convicted of second-degree murder .
an appeal to the new york supreme court argued that tinning 's confession to the crime was coerced and that there was insufficient evidence to convict her , but her appeal was denied .
