An overweight Ohio woman who killed her boyfriend by sitting on him, told a judge she was sincerely sorry for squashing the father of her three children, Fox8.com reported.
Mia Landingham, who weighed 300 pounds at the time of the August 2009 incident, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter Wednesday, Jan. 20 in Cleveland.
Her lawyer told Judge Carolyn Friedland there was a history of domestic abuse between Landingham and her 120-pound boyfriend, Mikal Middleton-Bey.
“I just want to say that I am sincerely sorry about this situation,” she said. “I wish I could take it back.”
The judge sentenced Landingham to three years probation and 100 hours of community service — much to the dismay of the victim’s family.
“So basically you can say that I can go sit on somebody and get probation?” one of the victim’s sisters told Fox8.com. “I feel there wasn’t no justice.”
