A crying Linda Pedroza, now 19, stood alone Friday afternoon in a Palm Beach County courtroom as she admitted the details of her mother's murder. With her former boyfriend, Antoine Wright, willing to provide testimony that could help put her on Death Row, Linda Pedroza pleaded guilty to a second-degree murder charge.

She agreed to a 40-year prison sentence. With good behavior, the earliest she could be released is when she is 51 years old.

Linda Pedroza offered no apologies Friday, calmly answering most of Palm Beach County Circuit Judge John Hoy's questions with one-word answers. She broke down in tears though when Hoy asked her if she and Wright murdered her mother. After letting the question hang about 30 seconds, she quietly answered "yes."

Prosecutors cut a deal with Wright, 26, in May with him agreeing to testify against Linda Pedroza in exchange for a 20-year prison sentence on a second-degree murder charge. The State Attorney's Office previously had sought the death penalty against him, too.

Once his plea agreement was in place, Wright told authorities the couple decided to kill Isabelle Pedroza so they could elope. When Isabelle Pedroza, 50, came home from work on June 23, 2000, Wright hit her in the head with a frying pan, and then the couple strangled her.

They left the mother's body in an acid-filled bathtub and when it didn't dissolve like they thought it would, they dumped the corpse in the woods of The Acreage.

His statement largely echoed a confession that Linda Pedroza had given authorities 11 days after surveyors found her mother's body on the Fourth of July. Linda Pedroza had reported her mother missing three days after the murder.

She told Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office detectives that her mother had wanted her to break up with Wright after catching the couple in bed together. Neighbors said Wright moved into the Pedrozas' Palm Beach Gardens home the day after Isabelle Pedroza disappeared.

Miguel Pedroza, Linda Pedroza's father, was in jail facing domestic violence charges when his wife was killed. He said Friday that he blamed himself for his wife's death because he wasn't a good father.

"These are consequences of the lifestyle I led," he said.

Miguel Pedroza told detectives investigating his wife's death that he was an alcoholic and he had smoked marijuana with his daughter and Wright, according to police reports.


Friday's plea deal was the same one that prosecutors had been offering to Linda Pedroza on and off the past two years. In the previous offers though, Linda Pedroza would have had to testify against Wright. Once Wright took his plea deal, prosecutors withdrew their offer until a few weeks ago.

Ann Perry, Linda Pedroza's attorney, said she was disappointed her client will spend twice as long in prison as Wright.

"She is certainly remorseful for what happened and ever getting in contact with Antoine," Perry said.

Assistant State Attorney Shirley Deluna said she has no qualms with Linda Pedroza receiving the longer prison sentence. Linda Pedroza was the one who gave the go-ahead to the murder, calling Wright that day to tell him it was time to kill her mother.
