A Macomb County mother is to be sentenced Feb. 12 after pleading guilty Tuesday to involuntary manslaughter and other charges in the August death of her 18-month-old son.
Brandee Danielle Wright, 22, of Warren pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, second-degree child abuse and lying to a police officer in a violent crime investigation, according to Macomb County Circuit Court records. She is to provide truthful testimony against her codefendant and boyfriend, William Mark Warren III, who is charged with felony murder and first-degree child abuse in the death, court records show.
Warren, 23, of Detroit, who is not the child's father, has a hearing on several motions filed in his case on Jan. 25.
Wyatt Harris, who represents Wright, said "we've had communications with the Prosecutor's Office to try to resolve the matter." Harris did not say why Wright entered the plea because the matter is pending, but said Wright testified against the codefendant at the preliminary exam.
When asked if he hoped for leniency in sentencing, Harris said: "there's always hope for leniency."
