Courthouse News

Looks like Kimberly Lynn Patterson, who was indicted in March, just agreed to a 10 year prison sentence to the offense of Manslaughter in the death of Bobina Begley in April of last year in Wise County. (Messenger background story here and more background here). I didn't see it, but I'm told the courtroom scene was "tense" when the agreement was approved this morning. It also appears that she had a dope probation revoked in what might be the worst performance by a probationer ever. The records indicate she pled guilty and received probation on October 27, 2008 with a Motion to Revoke the probation filed three days later when she didn't show up at the probation department.
