An Ohio woman who won a new trial after being sentenced to life in prison for convincing her 10-year-old adopted son to kill his father enters a plea to lesser charges.
TOLEDO, Ohio — An Ohio woman who won a new trial after being sentenced to life in prison for convincing her 10-year-old adopted son to kill his father entered a plea to lesser charges.
The plea means she did not admit guilt, but acknowledged prosecutors had enough evidence to convict her. Hawkey’s attorney declined to comment. “We felt strongly she was definitely involved and had a substantial influence over the child,” he said. “There was no question this was not an accidental shooting.”
It was the son who came home from elementary school in 2003 and fired the shot that killed his father, Robert Breininger, at their house outside Defiance, near the Indiana state line.
