Woman gets prison in deaths of sons

PITTSBURGH — A Pittsburgh-area woman will spend two to four years in prison because her sons died in a fire after they were left alone while she was working as an exotic dancer.

Defense attorney Blaine Jones says 28-year-old Kiaira Pollard is “contrite” and in “tremendous pain” from the deaths of her sons, 7-year-old KiDonn Pollard Ford and 4-year-old KrisDon Pollard-Williams. She was sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter.
