LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) — A former Lancaster woman was sentenced to 5.5 to 20 years in state prison on Tuesday, May 23, after being convicted for her role in the death of her baby, the Lancaster County Coroner's Office says. The DA's office says 46-year-old Tara Brazzle, who now lives in Indiana, submitted an 'Alford plea,' which acknowledged that the prosecution had enough evidence to convict her of third-degree murder without directly admitting to the crime itself. Alford pleas are treated the same as convictions, according to the DA.
