Did she do a plea deal? I do not have that in my notes if she did. I'd say about 5 years - or less. What is the minimum sentencing in Indiana for conspiracy commit armed robbery with a death?

And thanks for the info!

It was in my last update. I don't know how you manage to keep up with all that you do.
Her case is a level 3 felony.

A Google search tells us:
In Indiana, a Level 3 felony can result in a prison sentence of 3 to 16 years and a fine of up to $10,000.
