A woman in Cleveland pleaded guilty to sitting on her 5’10, 120-pound boyfriend, Mikal Middleston-Bey, and killing him.
It happened back in August, during an altercation between the couple, who share three children together.
A police scale that went up to 350 pounds wasn’t enough to accurately weigh the Cleveland woman, according to the affiliate.
Mia Landingham, 5’9, weighs more than 350 pound, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, during her sentencing, her boyfriend’s family spoke out letting Landingham know the pain she has caused..
« I just want to let you know how much you have hurt us by taking Mikal away from us. You have devastated our family. »
Landingham’s public defender told the judge there was a long history of domestic abuse between his client and her late boyfriend.
He also pointed out she has no prior criminal record.
Landingham then told the judge she was sorry for squashing the father of her children.
« I just want to say that I am sincerely sorry about this situation. I wish I could take it back
Judge Carolyn Friedland sentenced Landingham to three years probation and 100 hours community service.
She was immediately released from jail.
While Middleton-Bey’s family hoped Landingham would eventually be able to take part in her children’s lives, they were surprised that she got no additional jail time.
« So basically you can say that I can go sit on somebody and get probation? I feel there wasn’t no justice. My brother’s gone and all she get is three years probation. »
