CONWAY, S.C. (AP) – A Galivants Ferry woman has been sentenced to 12 years in prison in the stabbing death of a man on Christmas Eve back in 2013.
The Sun News reports that 56-year-old Connie Louise Highsmith pleaded guilty in Horry County on Thursday to voluntary manslaughter in the death of 52-year-old Herbert Lee Robinson.
Highsmith entered the plea as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors who dismissed a murder charge.
Witnesses said the stabbing occurred following an argument between Highsmith and Robinson.
