SPOKANE, Wash. — A woman accused of stabbing a man to death in Spokane's Rochester Heights Park back in July 2022 pleaded guilty to second-degree murder Friday afternoon.
Thirty-two-year-old Rose Sedin faced a maximum sentence of life in prison for killing 53-year-old James Clark.
Police said the the murder, which happened in broad daylight, was captured on a nearby security camera. By pleading guilty, prosecutors asked judge Timothy Fennessy to sentence Sedin to 12 years in prison, which is the low end of the standard range based on her prior criminal history.
With credit for time served, Sedin will be free in 10 and a half years. She told the court she wanted to take responsibility for her actions. Sedin hugged her daughter and niece as she was lead back to jail.
