Belmont woman pleads guilty to second degree murder
Iva Dawn Helms pleaded guilty to second degree murder in the October stabbing death of 61 year old Jimmy Dellinger and asked his family for forgiveness. She will serve 15 to 20 years in prison under a plea deal avoiding a possible life sentence without parole if convicted of first degree murder. Tim Dellinger criticized the plea as inadequate considering the impact on his uncle’s family.
