A 26-year-old woman has been sentenced to up to 20 years in prison for killing her infant son after giving birth at her workplace.
Kimberly Pappas admitted to stuffing the newborn into a plastic bag after giving birth in March at the business in suburban Detroit.
She pleaded guilty to second-degree murder under a deal with prosecutors that called for her to serve between nine and 20 years behind bars.
At her sentencing on Monday, Pappas apologised for her son's death.
She said: "The pain and regret I have over this really can't be put into words."
Police said the infant was discovered at Pappas' desk at her workplace in Redford Township.
Pappas denied to family and co-workers she had been pregnant, the Detroit News reported.
An autopsy determined the infant lived for 20 to 30 minutes and died of suffocation.
