theresa balboa pleads guilty to sam’s death
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A Houston woman who was charged with capital murder in the death of a 5-year-old boy in 2021 will serve 52 years in prison, a judge decided Wednesday.
Theresa Balboa pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in Samuel Olson’s death as part of a plea deal, avoiding the death penalty.
Balboa, who isn’t the boy’s mother, but was dating his father at the time, must serve 26 years before she is eligible for parole. However, she’ll get credit for the time she’s served since her initial arrest in 2021.
She didn’t say anything on her behalf in court, but Samuel’s mother, Sarah Olson, did.
“Today, she admitted to what she did for 52 years and the chance of parole in 26. My son didn’t even get six years of life, and she still gets a chance at one? This is not justice,” Sarah said after the hearing.

Be careful who you bring around your kids. She shouldn’t have gotten any type of plea deal. Smh
