FORT PIERCE — A Port St. Lucie woman accused of smothering her 8-year-old son to death Christmas Day 2008 is scheduled to plead guilty Wednesday to first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse charges.

As part of a plea deal reached with the State Attorney’s Office, Eryn Allegra, 32, will be sentenced to life in prison and not face the possibility of a death sentence, said Tom Bakkedahl, chief assistant state attorney.

good deal.
let her rot in prison and let her think about what she did to the boy she was supposed to protect.
if it had gone to trial she probably would have gotten dp though.
suprised she didnt try the isanity game

Thanks for the update. I'm glad she'll be locked up forever. I,too, am surprised they didn't try for insanity.

Eryn Allegra, the 32-year-old Port St. Lucie woman accused of smothering her 8-year-old son to death on Christmas Day 2008, avoided the possibility of a death sentence by pleading guilty Wednesday afternoon to premeditated first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse charges...

Allegra... gave her son, Tristan, eight Advil pills to put him to sleep Christmas Eve in a room at the Holiday Inn on U.S. 1 in Port St. Lucie. Between 3 and 4 a.m. Christmas morning, she is suspected of smothering him with a pillow.
