EDMONTON – A woman who pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the death of an eight-year-old girl found dead in a hockey bag in central Alberta has been sentenced to eight years in prison.
A judge says Ashley Rattlesnake is to be given about four years credit for time she has already served in custody.
The case surrounding the death of Nina Napope made headlines because Edmonton police openly criticized the work of Crown prosecutors while saying a light sentence would be a travesty of justice.
Court of King’s Bench Justice Jody Fraser says the police commentary did not factor into the decision.
Court heard Nina was in the care of Rattlesnake when her body was found in the hockey bag in the back of a truck in 2023.
More coming.
