SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A woman who was tried three times on charges of murdering her husband's mistress and child pleaded guilty Friday to two counts of voluntary manslaughter and will be deported to Taiwan.
Li-Yun "Lisa" Peng, 51, whose trials ended with two hung juries and a conviction that was reversed on appeal, told a court she was guilty of voluntary manslaughter in the 1993 deaths of Ranbing "Jennifer" Ji, 25, and 5-month-old Kevin.
The boy was the son of Ji and Peng's then-husband, Tseng "Jim" Peng. Ji was stabbed 18 times with a kitchen knife and Kevin was smothered.
