LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — Rebecca O'Donnell, who was arrested last year on suspicion of killing former Arkansas State Senator Linda Collins, has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and abuse of a corpse on Thursday.

O'Donnell accepted a plea deal in the stabbing death of Collins in Randolph County court on Thursday.

"I went to Linda's house and I intentionally killed her and then hid the body," O'Donnell told the judge.

Collins was found dead at her home in Pocahontas on June 4. O'Donnell, who worked for Collins, was arrested 10 days later. She was sentenced to 40 years for first-degree murder and 3 years for abuse of a corpse in Randolph County.

O'Donnell was stealing money from the senator and when she was confronted about it she "snapped," according to a statement made by Collins' son on Thursday. He was reportedly the one who found Collins' body covered in maggots, under a tarp, wrapped in an old comforter that he said was his.

You ever read a headline quickly and your brain sees a familiar last name and first initial... and you very briefly think that Rosie O’Donnell murdered someone?

But otherwise how does one actually just cold bloodedly simply kill someone.

It happens a lot when the fabric of society unravels.

I have a distant cousin who was a low level gangster and shot his ex’s boyfriend between the eyes.

Was dong have roids and is now serving life.

His pop left the family for some tramp when he was 40 then died of a heart attack from coke.

It builds a lot of hate in a kid.

Ironically, the other son because a very prominent lawyer.

So yes, one can prevail but on the average, having a disaster for a father or no father at all makes you much likely to go down a very bad path.

“Was dong have roids and is now serving life.”

Mess with the roids and you’ll shrink your dong. Beans, too.

Yeah that didn’t end up being his major issue though :)

He also blew up the side of a law firm that was representing his ex in the divorce.
