Rachelle Bond is expected to be sentenced to time served Tuesday -- a day after her ex-boyfriend was convicted of second-degree murder in the girl's death. Bond and her boyfriend, Michael McCarthy, were arrested in September 2015 in the killing earlier that year of Bella Bond. Prosecutors had charged McCarthy with first-degree murder, but the judge said jurors could also consider two lesser charges: second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter. Under a second-degree murder conviction, a person is eligible for parole after serving 15 years in prison. "Today, there is no justice for Bella Bond," he said, adding that they will appeal.
