Woman to plead guilty to assisted suicide of two sons

By
ATLANTA - A woman who admitted fatally shooting her two sons suffering from Huntington&#39;s disease will avoid murder charges by pleading guilty to breaking Georgia&#39;s little-used assisted suicide law, according to her attorney. <br> <br> Under the plea agreement, 63-year-old Carol Carr would be sentenced to five years in prison. She&#39;d likely be paroled about a year from now after being held without bond since June, defense attorney Lee Sexton told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. <br> <br> Carr had faced two counts of felony murder and two counts of malice murder for shooting 42-year-old Michael Randy Scott and 41-year-old Andy Byron Scott on June eighth in a Spalding County nursing home. Both men were unable to communicate and bedridden in the advanced stages of the nerve disease, which also killed their father. <br> <br> Spalding County prosecutors would not confirm the plea agreement, only saying a hearing is scheduled for tomorrow morning. <br> <br> Sexton says he&#39;ll ask the judge to drop the murder charges against Carr.
