Woman pleads guilty in robbery-killing of retired officer
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) – A Memphis woman who was on trial for the robbery and fatal shooting of a retired police officer has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.
Ashley Carver entered the plea Wednesday during her trial on a charge of first-degree murder in the perpetration of robbery in the February 2012 death of Charles Jones. Carver also pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in another case involving the fatal shooting of Leonard Davidson in January 2012.
She was sentenced to 32 years in prison as part of a settlement with prosecutors.
Carver had been accused of teaming up with her boyfriend, Michael Dean, to rob and kill Jones and Davidson. Authorities say Dean is charged with killing two other people in a separate robbery-killing. No trial date has been set for Dean.
