Penny Boudreau Pleads Guilty

Breaking news this morning (thanks, Mike) that Penny Boudreau has plead guilty to second degree murder of her daughter, Karissa.

My thoughts go out to the Boudreau family.

From the Canadian National Post:

Court was told that Karissa and her mom had been fighting when Penny Boudreau followed her daughter out of the car with some twine and strangled her until she was dead. The girl’s last words were “Mom, don’t.” Penny Boudreau told police officers later that she “did what she had to do,” court was told.

I first wrote about the case last February. Penny Boudreau went on TV to plead for her daughter’s safe return, but the words she spoke didn’t sit right with me.

A reader just pointed out that I said last June I thought Penny Boudreau would confess. I totally forgot that! In hindsight now, I’m actually surprised it took her this long but we don’t know exactly when she confessed to police, do we?
