"Megan Martzen pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter this morning in court after a jury was declared hung back in February.........The judge presiding over the case suggested the plea deal offers probation and no jail time. The prosecution had suggested it may take the case back to trial. Martzen's defense attorney had said ten of the hung jurors believed no jury would ever be able to reach an agreement. Martzen is due back in court April 30 for sentencing."
