A young woman in Utah has accepted legal responsibility for shooting and killing her friend in an abortive suicide pact earlier this year.

On Tuesday, Heavenly Faith Garfield, 22, pleaded guilty to one count of manslaughter, under a provision that criminalizes aiding another person’s intentional suicide, Utah County court records show.

In exchange for her guilty plea, prosecutors dismissed charges of murder in the first degree and discharge of a firearm. Those initial charges were filed over the late spring death of Brooklyn Michelle Barrett, 21, who the defendant shot in the head on a bed of flowers.
