WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) - A former nurse has pleaded guilty to charges she caused her 6-year-old daughter’s death from a drug overdose last Easter Sunday.
Westchester County District Attorney Janet DiFiore says Kathleen Dymes of Croton- (KROH’-tuhn) on-Hudson, New York pleaded guilty Tuesday to criminally negligent homicide, misdemeanor child endangerment and possession of a controlled substance.
The little girl, Lacey Carr, was found dead in her bed last April after ingesting a mixture of antidepressants and pain medication.
Authorities say Dymes was found unconscious on the floor next to the bed.
She faces a maximum of four years in prison when she is sentenced on April 12.
