Woman gets 8 years in prison in stabbing death

WARREN — A 19-year-old woman will spend eight years in prison for stabbing a 16-year-old girl to death during a fight outside of a Peace Avenue Northwest apartment last year.

Ciera Limbeck of Elm Road Northeast pleaded guilty in March to involuntary manslaughter for killing Brittnay Fuller of Swallow Street Southwest on Sept. 3. She could have gotten between three and 10 years in prison. Before imposing the sentence, Judge Andrew Logan of Trumbull County Common Pleas Court told Limbeck that it was a difficult case for him, but he felt sure that Limbeck needed to accept   responsibility for Fuller’s death.

“I’m not sure you’ve taken responsibility for your actions,” Judge Logan said.
