CINCINNATI — Two nurses were sentenced to probation Wednesday in the malnutrition death of a 14-year-old girl who had cerebral palsy and weighed 28 pounds when she died, avoiding a sentence of up to 1½ years in prison.

Mary Kilby of Miamisburg and Kathryn Williams of Englewood were sentenced to up to five years’ probation in the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas in Dayton stemming from the March 1, 2011, death of Makayla Norman.
