A television producer charged with killing her sister pleaded no contest Wednesday to voluntary manslaughter.
"My client pled no contest clearly to abate her exposure to dying" while behind bars in a case in which"we didn't really have a solid proof of the cause of death," defense attorney Danny Davis said after the plea, noting that his client has Parkinson's disease and Lupus and is in a wheelchair.
Davis noted earlier that prosecutors had waited for three years to file the case, and that biological and toxicological evidence that had been collected and analyzed was destroyed before the prosecution filed the case. Davis called the case a"family tragedy" and said his client's elderly parents didn't want to see their daughter die in prison.
Police also found notes taped with black duct tape to a black trash can, including one that warned to"Enter carefully" and advised that"both parties have do not resuscitate orders," and a note that identified the hair color of each of the two, the detective testified.
