She would have received a 30-year sentence, suspended after 20 years, followed by five years of probation under the state's offer.

The judge made a counter offer of a 30-year sentence, suspended after 10 years, with five years of probation.

She would have been charged with kidnapping in the first degree, assault in the first degree, unlawful restraint in the first degree, and cruelty to persons.
