"I realized what I'd done and then it come to me...I hit somebody, I panicked. What am I going to do?" Jenea Sherman said during her plea.

Jenea Sherman will have plenty of time to think about what she did from inside a jail cell.
She pleaded guilty to leaving a scene where a death occurred.
On July 15, 2009, Sherman says she was driving down Route 35 in St. Albans when she ran a woman over and then took off.

"I just didn't know what to do. I was scared. I didn't mean to come off coldblooded. It was an accident." says Jenea Sherman.

Sherman's attempt to atone for her actions offered little solace to 50-year-old Mary McCallister's family.

"As far as I'm concerned the woman doesn't have a heart," says Jane Cartwright, "She let Mary lay in that ditch for two days and she knew and didn't tell anyone."

As a part of the plea deal, a misdemeanor charge was dropped.
Cartwright says Sherman disregarded her sister's life.

"The least she could have done was stopped, called the police and waited on them, but she didn't." says Jane Cartwright.

Sherman faces up to three years behind bars when sentenced
