Sandra Adams was sentenced to 10 years probation and ordered to pay a $2,500 fine, according to the plea deal she made last month in Hart County Superior Court. She was initially charged with second-degree murder and cruelty to children.

On Aug. 1, Adams was outside her Hartwell home with her 20-month-old grandson, Paris, when two pit bulls ran out the back door, knocked Adams down and attacked the child, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution previously reported.
