Oklahoma City -

  An Oklahoma County judge formally sentences Stephanie Dunham to 18 years in prison in the deaths of her young children in a recreational vehicle fire last year.

  Dunham had entered a blind plea of no contest to child neglect and drug charges.

  Her husband, Christopher Dunham, was convicted of the same charges and was also sentenced to 18 years in prison.

  The family was living in a broken down RV behind a relative's home in Del City when a fire started on January 4, 2011.

  4-year-old Christopher, 3-year-old Crystal and 22-month-old Kailey died in the fire.

  Prosecutors had asked that Stephanie Dunham be sentenced to life in prison.

  She sobbed and cried, "It's not fair," after the sentence was read.
