A New Strawn woman will be spending over ten years in prison after being sentenced in Coffey County District Court Thursday.
According to a press release from the Kansas Attorney General’s office, 69-year-old Carol Sue Burris was found guilty in April of one count of reckless second degree murder and one count of mistreatment of dependent adult.
