Danny Jo Sosa pleaded no contest to tampering with evidence and marijuana possession and will serve two 18 month terms on supervised probation. She also got 18 months on fraud and forgery charges, to be served consecutively, with two forgery counts dropped by prosecutors. The sentences total four and a half years.

Daniel Sosa faces murder and related counts and is jailed without bond. Police seized the contraband from a duffle bag in a white pickup.
