A woman who allegedly befriended a mother in order to kidnap two newborn babies is now the only adult defendant facing trial, as two others took pleas and were recently sentenced.

Davion Demetrius Sherman Chandler, 20, was the first to wrap up his case with a sentencing on May 24, according to Detroit NBC affiliate WDIV. Curtis Lee Slay, 18, followed suit on Friday. Both must spend three to 15 years in prison with 280 days time served as part of plea deals they reportedly reached in May.

The remaining adult defendant, Shantell Re-Azia Jones, 23, is set for trial in November.

Prosecutors in Wayne County, Michigan, charged them last year with abducting two 14-day-old baby boys. They faced charges of kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment, conspiracy, and larceny in a building, though Chandler and Clay pleaded down to a count of unlawful imprisonment.
