Ma gets year in kid blaze death
A BROOKLYN stripper whose 2-year-old daughter died in a fire after she left the toddler home alone was sentenced to prison Wednesday — after repeatedly ruining a no-jail deal.
Leila Aquino, 22, faced up to four years in prison for criminally negligent homicide charges after she pleaded guilty to leaving little Kaleenah Muldrow alone in their apartment in February 2016 while she went to work in a Queens strip club.
While Aquino was away, the Bedford-Stuyvesant building went up in flames, killing Kaleenah.
But Aquino brokered a no-jail deal in October 2016 with Justice Deborah Dowling. She was ordered to complete an alternativeto-prison program and stay out of trouble. Once the sessions were finished, the judge would sentence her to three years of probation.
Aquino twice violated the deal by allegedly hitting a woman in the face with a knife sharpener, then punching a correction officer while at Rikers Island.
She was sentenced to 11/3 to four years.
