GALLIPOLIS, Ohio (WSAZ) - A mom found guilty of killing her infant son will spend the rest of her life in prison.

Last week, Kansas Grube, 25, Gallipolis, was convicted of aggravated murder and child endangerment in the death of 2-month-old, Jaxson Grube.

Wednesday, Grube was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole during a hearing in Gallia County Common Pleas Court.

During the hearing, Matthew Grube spoke for his deceased son.
According to the Gallipolis newspaper, he told that court that, “I ask, no I beg the court, not to look at Mrs. Grube as a mother, not to look at her as someone’s wife, not to look at her as someone’s daughter but to look at her for what this court has proven her to be and what she really is: a murderer.”

Prosecutors say Grube killed her son in February by thrusting a bottle in his mouth, causing his head to hit the arm of a couch.

She called 911 later and told dispatchers that Jaxson was cold to the touch.

The jury returned a verdict of guilty of aggravated murder and endangering children.

No date has been set at this time for when Kansas Grube will be back in court for sentencing.

In a video arraignment, the infant's 24-year-old mother Kansas Grube said very little as she was charged with murder.

In the 911 call we hear her saying, "He was in the living room with me, asleep."

But sheriff's department investigators found a back story. In the criminal complaint, Kansas Grube said before the 911 call, she was aggravated with the baby, and forcefully shoved a bottle into Jaxson's mouth. She also said she forced his head into an arm of the couch. The autopsy revealed two skull fractures resulting from inflicting injuries.

Sheriff Joe Browning told us her actions with the child were consistent with either being slammed down or struck with an object.
