Prosecutors expected to offer new deal to woman accused of killing boyfriend as trial kicks off

Prosecutors are expected to offer Keshia Golden a new plea deal involving significantly reduced charges and no prison time as her trial begins. Golden, 37, claims she acted in self-defense when she fatally stabbed Calvin Sidney during their baby shower nearly four years ago. While her lawyers and advocates have urged the Cook County state’s attorney’s office to drop all charges, previous offers included pleading guilty to second-degree murder charges for the incident.
