Dorvilier pleaded guilty in February to aggravated manslaughter and was sentenced on Friday to 30 years in prison.
While handcuffed and shacked in court on Friday, she said:
"I was on a downward spiral. I believe I hit my rock bottom,". "I apologize first and foremost for not giving my daughter, Angelica, the life she deserved. She deserved so much better."
Police said they responded to a call about a fire on a road in the township, near Philadelphia and that when they arrived at the scene, they found the neighbor holding Dorvilier down on the ground and the baby wrapped in a smoldering towel and paper.
Dorvilier's sister, Dejennie, pleaded with Judge Terrence Cook for leniency, saying that Dorvilier needed help. But the judge said the punishment was "the sentence that justice requires."
He said:
"The crime in this case was committed against the weakest of the weak, a helpless newborn," Cook said. "All she knew was the extreme excruciating pain of being set on fire by her mother, the person who was supposed to love and protect her."Burlington County Prosecutor Robert Bernardi said:
"This was an atrocious act, and one that was entirely preventable given our state's law that allows someone to anonymously give up an unwanted infant,".
Witnesses to the baby burning homicide told police that Hyphernkemberly poured flammable liquid on her newborn daughter before setting the infant on fire.
“It was just horrible. Like nothing you’ve ever seen,” neighbor David Joseph told the media.
Joseph added that due to the woman’s apparently calm demeanor, he thought she was just dumping trash after stepping out of her Land Rover.
“We saw the fire and thought someone was burning trash,” he added.
When Joseph’s wife realized a baby was burning alive, she screamed and Dorvilier attempted to run away from the area but David Joseph managed to hold her down until the police arrived. A makeshift memorial for the baby burned alive still stands where the homicide took place.
“It was just mind boggling. It was nightmare even if you have a strong heart. Hopefully she’ll pay for it,” Joseph concluded

She must come from a very abusive family and judgmental neighbourhood to go such a long heartless way to conceal her pregnancy and terminate her newborn. Still nothing can justify this wicked action

This is very pathetic indeed..The end of the world..
She look burnt
I think she's abnormal
This is how girls kill their babies in the name of abortion,and they will all come here to attack their fellow killer.
This lady probably had postpartum depression,that made her commit this hideous crime
What a crime#Lindangwanu#
After doing all the nonsense,they"ll claim not normal.but she is very normal while opening he legs!
As in...the demons in her sha...
She roasted her baby alive simply because she was probably broke at the time she could have had him chopped out of her womb with impetus and backuped by law called "legalised abortion". Now it's a crime? Mtchewwwwwww. Killing is evil!whether killing of a helpless in the womb, new born , unarmed etc
Lin,I can't find my first post!
What? No death penalty for this woman?
this is heart breaking n traumatic. people wicked n heartless sha, regardless of what the mother may have gone through before giving birth...that act was inhumane
