A woman in Dent County has pleaded guilty in the death of her 10-year-old adopted daughter.
Susan Abney was charged with child abuse or neglect when Josie Ann Abney died in 2020.
As part of a plea deal, the state dropped a second-degree murder charge.
KY3 reports investigators say the child was under 40 pounds and was so dehydrated that doctors couldn’t draw blood.
