EXETER TWP., Pa. – A Berks County woman has pleaded guilty to charges in connection with the death of her three-year-old daughter in 2022, attorneys say.<\/p>\n
District Attorney John Adams says 37-year-old Solange J. White pleaded guilty but mentally ill to third-degree murder. The plea comes the same day her trial was scheduled to start.<\/p>\n
White was previously charged in 2022 with criminal homicide, endangering the welfare of children, and aggravated assault, officials say.<\/p>\n
A man inside the home at the time reported that he believed White had strangled the 3-year-old, who was not moving and was blue in the face, according to court documents.<\/p>\n
CPR was performed on the child, and investigators noticed visible marks and bruising on her neck, consistent with strangulation-type injuries, according to the court documents.<\/p>\n
The young girl was taken to Reading Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
White was also taken to the hospital for undisclosed injuries following the incident. She was treated, released, and then taken into custody, police say.<\/p>\n
Attorney John Adams says the sentencing hearing is ongoing, and he expects White to be sentenced later this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXETER TWP., Pa. – A Berks County woman has pleaded guilty to charges in connection with the death…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":267827,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[349,46633,65322,112911,128,130,129,2791,789,112910,41113,795],"class_list":["post-267826","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-reading","tag-berks-county","tag-child-death","tag-court-case","tag-pleaded-guilty-but-mentally-ill","tag-reading-city","tag-reading-city-headlines","tag-reading-city-news","tag-reading-hospital","tag-sentencing","tag-solange-j-white","tag-strangling","tag-third-degree-murder"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267826","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267826"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267826\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/267827"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267826"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267826"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267826"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
