A woman charged in a mass murder faced a judge for the first time since testifying against her now-convicted co-defendant.
WAAY 31 spoke with attorneys on both sides about the plea deal that will spare Rhonda Carlson a death sentence.
Both the prosecution and the defense agreed to the plea deal. It helped them get a key testimony about the murders of Kristen Henderson and four others during Chris Henderson s capital murder trial.
“We had to have several meetings prior to Chris Henderson’s trial in which we delivered some information and worked out some type of an agreement so that we could move forward in this capacity, said Erin Atkins, Carlson s defense attorney.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) Jurors recommended the death penalty on Tuesday for a man convicted of killing his wife, her unborn child and three other people in 2015 in a scheme with another woman to whom he was married.
News outlets reported that the Madison County jury which convicted Christopher Henderson, 46, of multiple counts of capital murder last week voted 11-1 that he should die for the slayings. A judge will decide whether Henderson should be given the death penalty or sentenced to life without parole at a hearing set for Oct. 14.
Henderson was convicted in the shooting and stabbing deaths of wife Kristin Smallwood; her unborn daughter; her 8-year-old son Clayton Chambers; her 1-year-old nephew Eli Sokolowski; and her mother, Carol Jean Smallwood.
