WLBT 3 - Jackson, MS: Teen Agrees to Plea Deal in Death of Two Year Old
Member Center:
A Union County teenager charged with capital murder for the death of her 2-year step sister has agreed to plead guilty to a lesser offense. 17-year old Marianna Torres plead guilty to manslaughter by culpable negligence. As part of the deal, Torres will help with the investigation into the charges against her parents.
Last week investigators added manslaughter to the seven counts of child endangerment and 200 counts of animal neglect already against both Ramone and Janet Baretto. Two-year old Enna Barreto died May 19th.
Several children and hundreds of animals were later seized from the Baretto's Union County home. A sentencing date has not been set for the teenager.
