(AP) – A woman convicted of lying to protect her boyfriend in
the beating death of his 2-year-old son has been released from prison after
about four months of a 10-year sentence.
Lesley Sue Marcotte was sentenced in July after pleading guilty to hindering
apprehension or conviction in the death of Malik Drummond.
Marcotte and Jeffery Clifton reported the boy missing in November 2014. A year
later Marcotte said the boy was killed by Clifton, who is serving 40 years for
second-degree murder and abuse of a corpse.
Arkansas Department of Correction spokesman Solomon Graves told the Arkansas
Democrat-Gazette that Marcotte was released Nov. 18 to Arkansas Community
Correction, which provides parole supervision and residential-style centers with
educational programs and employment counseling.
An agency spokeswoman didn’t answer a phone call Saturday.
