WISCONSIN (AP) -- The daughter of a Wisconsin state legislator was found guilty of supplying drugs that killed a pregnant woman and her baby in June 2017.
Cassie Nygren pleaded no contest Tuesday to several charges she faced, but a Wisconsin judge entered guilty pleas instead as part of an agreement with prosecutors.
She was found guilty of being party to a first-degree reckless homicide and other charges.
Other charges were dismissed, including a first-degree reckless homicide for the baby's death and neglecting a child.
Nygren is scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 17.
