The Chicago Tribune reports that Cunningham will be sentenced at a later date. She faces 20 to 60 years in prison. Other charges against her were dropped.
Cunningham and the boy’s father, Andrew Freund were charged with first-degree murder and other crimes after the boy’s body was found buried in a shallow grave in Woodstock following a massive search for him that began after he was reported missing.
The two have been held in the McHenry County jail on $5 million bail.
