Murder charge dropped to manslaughter in plea deal

CHATTANOOGA (WDEF) – A local woman has accepted a plea deal in the death of a man two years ago.

Gercara Laquandra Robinson was originally charged with the second degree murder of James Stallion.

But last week, she pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter.

As a result of the deal with prosecutors, she avoids jail time.

Robinson got four years of probation instead.
