After failing to appear to her pre-trial hearing, she pled guilty to the charge. Unfortunately, the court records do not make sentencing details publicly available. We called the courthouse for additional information, but they refused to provide any as we were not directly involved in the case. She likely received a monetary fine as a result of this case. Using the available information made public from the courts, we can confirm that she was not sentenced to life in prison and she did not receive the death penalty.
