Woman gets probation in death
Review-Journal A woman who shot her boyfriend to death following an argument was sentenced to five years probation Thursday. Kelli Woods-Bedell, 28, of Las Vegas, pleaded guilty in October to voluntary manslaughter with use of a weapon in the June 1997 shooting death of 33-year-old James Edward Hess. District Judge Jeffrey Sobel on Thursday sentenced her to five years of probation, with the first year spent on house arrest. She also must spend two weeks each year in the Clark County Detention Center, three weeks if she is not employed.
If she fails to comply with the terms of her probation, she faces a maximum of eight years in prison. Hess was fatally shot in a car at convenience store parking lot on Lamb Boulevard, near Charleston Boulevard. Police said Woods-Bedell was Hess's live-in girlfriend, and that the two were arguing at the store shortly before the slaying.
