Alyssa Bustamante, 18, received a life sentence for killing her 9-year-old neighbor, Elizabeth K. Olten, in 2009. She also got 30 years for armed criminal action. Bustamante, who is eligible to parole, allegedly told police she killed Olten because she wanted to know what it felt like to kill someone. Defense attorneys had argued for leniency after presenting evidence from family members and mental health experts about Bustamante's troubled childhood. Bustamante was born to teenage, drug-abusing parents; her father was imprisoned and her mother abandoned her, leaving her in the legal custody of her grandmother.After a suicide attempt in 2007 she was prescribed the antidepressant Prozac. Her dosage had been increased just two weeks before Elizabeth's death. A defense psychiatrist testified that the medication could have made Bustamante moodier and more violent and contributed to the murder — a theory rejected by a different psychiatrist testifying for prosecutors.
