After learning of the mistake Wednesday, state District Judge Julie Kocurek threw out the jury's verdict and, with lawyers in the case, came up with a solution — Romero pleaded guilty to manslaughter under a plea bargain that calls for an eight-year probation sentence. That's the same sentence the jury gave Romero last week. A conviction and eight-year probation sentence for tampering with evidence will stand, and the terms will run together.
