A woman charged in a mass murder faced a judge for the first time since testifying against her now-convicted co-defendant.
WAAY 31 spoke with attorneys on both sides about the plea deal that will spare Rhonda Carlson a death sentence.
Both the prosecution and the defense agreed to the plea deal. It helped them get a key testimony about the murders of Kristen Henderson and four others during Chris Henderson s capital murder trial.
“We had to have several meetings prior to Chris Henderson’s trial in which we delivered some information and worked out some type of an agreement so that we could move forward in this capacity, said Erin Atkins, Carlson s defense attorney.
