KANE COUNTY - A St. Charles Township woman who stabbed her developmentally disabled daughter to death in 2006 and then tried to drive her car into the Fox River pleaded guilty Friday to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Betty C. Whitten, 59, received the term in exchange for her plea of guilty but mentally ill to charges stemming from the stabbing death of her daughter, Nyakiambi Whitten, 34, who had cerebral palsy.
Kane County Judge Philip DiMarzio credited Whitten for almost two years she has spent in the county jail, and she may be paroled in about eight years.
