The teenage daughter of a Las Vegas woman who died after an illegal buttocks enhancement surgery said Thursday there will be no justice for her mother's death after prosecutors worked out a plea deal with the unlicensed doctor and nurse who performed the procedure.

Janet Villalovos told The Associated Press she begged prosecutors not to allow Ruben Matallana-Galvas and Carmen Torres-Sanchez to plead guilty to reduced charges to avoid a trial in the death of 42-year-old Elena Caro.

The husband and wife pleaded guilty to manslaughter, conspiracy and practicing medicine without a license Thursday in Las Vegas. They each face up to nine years in prison and fines of up to $12,000, but Caro's relatives expressed concern that the court would be lenient on the couple. Sentencing was scheduled for Oct. 6.

Matallana-Galvas and Torres-Sanchez were running an illegal cosmetic surgery business in the back room of a Las Vegas tile shop when they injected Caro with an unknown substance, then showed her out the door in April, prosecutors said. She was found hours later roaming the streets in agony miles from the makeshift clinic.

An autopsy showed Caro died from an allergic reaction to the anesthesia commonly used in cosmetic surgery procedures. Matallana-Galvas' lawyer Scott Coffee said the unlicensed doctor wanted to plead guilty to accept responsibility for not providing Caro with better care.

A legally blind law school student has won her first big court victory.

Deanna Jones of Middlesex, Vt., sued the National Conference of Bar Examiners in July, accusing it of violating the Americans With Disabilities Act. The examiners would not let her take a legal ethics exam with software she's used for reading in college and in law school.

A federal judge ruled last week the NCBE must provide her a computer equipped with the software. She took the test with it Friday and thinks she passed.

NCBE had argued that the security of its pencil-and-paper test could be jeopardized when the test is taken electronically.

The examiners, who will appeal, offered someone to read the exam to Jones, and offered the test in Braille, as an audio CD and in enlarged print.

A woman whose beating of a transgender woman at a McDonald's restaurant near Baltimore was captured on videotape has pleaded guilty to the attack.

Baltimore County State's Attorney Scott Shellenberger says 19-year-old Teonna Brown pleaded guilty Thursday to one count of first-degree assault and one count of a hate crime.

Video of Brown's beating of 22-year-old Chrissy Polis went viral online, drawing national attention to the struggles of transgender people. Democratic Gov. Martin O'Malley pledged to seek greater protections for transgender people.

Brown's sentencing is set for next month. Prosecutors say they plan to seek a prison term of five years.

Shellenberger says a girl charged as a juvenile in the same attack acknowledged her role in juvenile court on July 1 and was committed to a detention facility.

A tour bus driver who caused a crash that killed three Japanese tourists last year was spared a lengthy prison term Friday when a judge sentenced him to less than a year in jail for his role in the wreck.

Yasushi Mikuni was facing the prospect of 15 years behind bars, but instead got just under a year in jail and three years of probation. Judge Michael Westfall also ordered the 26-year-old Japanese student to pay restitution to each of the crash victims and court fines.

"I think this was a great outcome," Mikuni's Las Vegas-based defense attorney Garrett Ogata said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "I think the judge saw how Yasushi presented himself at each and every court hearing and even said that he handles himself with remorse."

Ogata said Mikuni, who sobbed through Friday's hearing, was so deeply affected by the accident that he went to the crash site with his father and brother to pray for the victims and their families.

The 26-year-old driver originally was charged with 10 felonies but pleaded guilty in May to three felony counts of operating a vehicle negligently, causing serious injury or death.

Utah Highway Patrol investigators said that on the day of the crash, Mikuni, a Japanese citizen living in Las Vegas on a U.S. work and education visa, was driving on little sleep after a long work day the day before.

Tests showed he also had marijuana in his system. Investigators said they didn't believe Mikuni was impaired while driving, but that he was sleep-deprived.

The bus carrying 14 Japanese tourists was headed from Nevada to national parks in Utah and Arizona on Aug. 9, 2010, when it rolled on Interstate 15. Three died and 11 others were injured, including Mikuni.

Judge Michael Westfall sentenced Mikuni to 15 years in prison Friday but then suspended most of the sentence. Court records show Mikuni will spend 363 days in the Iron County Jail.
