FERNDALE, Wash. — A Ferndale woman pled guilty to lesser charges Monday in the death of her husband and was sentenced to 9-months in jail.

Jessica Nereyda Inda was convicted of 2nd degree assault rather than murder.

Court documents show Inda told investigators she stabbed Alberto Manuel Mora-Morales in the neck in self-defense as he was attacking her in October 2016, but the Medical Examiner didn’t find any evidence that Inda was assaulted.
