YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) -- A 36-year-old Yakima, Wash., woman accused of fatally stabbing her husband has pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter.
The Yakima Herald (http://is.gd/3zIJXY ) reports Sara George had been charged with second-degree murder in the 2009 death of her husband Rafael Oseguera at a downtown apartment building.
