Grandmother sentenced to 20 years in 3-year-old's death

ATLANTA - An East Point woman and her boyfriend were sentenced to 10 years each Friday in the death of the woman&#39;s 3-year-old granddaughter, who was drowned in the family bathtub in August. <br> <br> Beverly Headspeth, 45, and Gregory Mena Perez, 38, will serve 10 years in prison and 10 years on probation. <br> <br> While on probation, the two can&#39;t live with children and they must submit to random tests for drugs and alcohol, said Erik Friedly, a spokesman for the Fulton County District Attorney&#39;s Office. <br> <br> Headspeth was convicted last month of seven charges, including involuntary manslaughter. The woman was accused not of drowning the girl, Alexis, but of neglecting to watch her. Police believe Headspeth&#39;s 11-year-old son is the one who actually held Alexis underwater. <br> <br> Perez was convicted of four counts of cruelty to children. <br> <br> The Headspeth case provoked criticisms of the state Division of Family and Children Services because officials had been monitoring the family since 1999.
