A mother and man accused in a fatal math lab explosion in Lilburn in 2011 have pleaded guilty, just days before their trial was set to begin.
According to WSB-TV, the pair -- Neibi Brito and Joseph Perez -- accepted plea deal in court Wednesday. Before Judge Melodie Snell Conner, they were sentenced to 50 years, the report said.
The victims in the February 2011 explosion were: 21-month-old Stacy Brito, 3-year-old Jose Ivan Guevara and 4-year-old Isaac Guevara.
Another man, Ivan Gonzalez, was also charged with murder and drug trafficking in the case. But, he has eluded capture.

Her cell should be lined with pictures of her dead children so she has to look at them the rest of her miserable life.

I'm sure she'll live in hell for the rest of her life for putting her children in such danger. On the other hand, her boyfriend pretended to follow the ambulance to the hospital and got off scott free. He's probably hooked up with another stupid girl, has a kid or two, and is happily cooking meth somewhere far from Lilburn. A lot of people in this area would like to have a few private moments with him.
