Amanda McKenna, jail booking photoA Eugene woman who fatally stabbed a man with a screwdriver and a kitchen knife has pleaded guilty to murder and been sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 25 years.
The Register-Guard reports a tearful Amanda McKenna apologized at Thursday's sentencing.
Authorities say the victim, Scott Zebro, moved to Oregon to establish residency before his son applied to the University of Oregon. He subleased a garage at the house where McKenna lived.
The landlord told investigators after the July 2016 killing that Zebro had raised concerns during a phone conversation about possible child abuse and methamphetamine use at the residence.
According to court records, the last thing Zebro told the homeowner was something similar to: "Oh my God. She heard what I was telling you."
The call was disconnected moments later, after the homeowner heard sounds of a struggle.
