myFOXdetroit.com Staff - TRENTON -- Jennifer Petkov pled guilty today of assault and battery, admitting that she tried to run down her neighbor Tana Boling.
Petkov became infamous last fall after she posted mean-spirited photos of Kathleen Edwards, a 7-year-old girl who is dying from Huntington's Disease, on her Facebook page. ( VIEW ORGIINAL VIDEO REPORT )
The photos showed Edwards face as part of a skull and cross bones. She says she did it to "burn Rebecca Rose's ass raw." Rose is Edward's grandmother who lives on the same Trenton street as Boling and Petkov.
She also posted a picture of the girl's mother, who died in 2009 of the same condition, in the arms of the grim reaper.
She later apologized for posting the photos, but public outcry turned into a rally of support for Edwards and a negative backlash against Petkov.
Today she was sentenced to 18 months probation on the following conditions:
Any violation of the terms of probation will result in the Petkov serving 93 days in the Wayne County Jail, according to the Wayne County prosecutors office.
