 San Luis Obispo -- An Atascadero woman has agreed to a prison sentence of nearly 21 years after pleading no contest to nine charges in connection with her baby daughter’s death in 2007, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
Arianne Brito, 24, is the wife of 29-year-old Fermin Brito Palacios, who received a sentence of 31 years to life after a Sept. 10 conviction for beating their daughter to death. Brito also initially was charged with killing the 20-month-old child, Natalia Brito, and her trial had been scheduled for Jan. 26.
Brito entered her plea on Dec. 18 to eight counts of child endangerment, with the enhanced penalty of an injury resulting in death, and one count of voluntary manslaughter.
