Mom guilty of giving fatal dose of heroin to jailed daughter

COVINGTON, Ky. (AP) — A northern Kentucky mother has pleaded guilty to supplying her daughter with the heroin that she fatally overdosed on while in jail last year.

The Kentucky Enquirer (http://cin.ci/1Rply4F ) reports that Kimberly Mullins on Tuesday pleaded guilty in federal court in Covington to conspiring with others to get the fatal cocktail that contained heroin and fentanyl to her addicted 25-year-old daughter Jamie Green.

Green, who had been jailed since more than three months on a probation violation, was found unresponsive in the Kenton County jail Sept. 4 after taking the drug.

Co-defendants Lisa Lattimore and Lynette Ball also pleaded guilty to the conspiracy charge. U.S. District Court Judge Amul Thapar told the women they will each return to court in July to face sentences of 20 years to life in prison.
