An Idaho woman who testified that she helped her ex-boyfriend clean up a murder scene and pled guilty to tampering with evidence has now had her sentence vacated and will be resentenced at a later date, the Colorado Court of Appeals ruled.

During Frazee's trial, Kenney testified that Frazee beat Berreth to death with a baseball bat on Thanksgiving Day 2018 while Frazee and Berreth's 1-year-old daughter sat in another room.Woodland Park police Chief Miles DeYoung speaks during a press conference at the Florissant Grange to update Kelsey Berreth's disappearance case in Florissant, Colorado, Dec. 14, 2018.

The Colorado Court of Appeals ruled that the initial court"did not 'specifically inform' Kenney in the plea hearing or at sentencing of her right to have 'a jury determine aggravating facts beyond a reasonable doubt.' The court advised her that she would be 'giving up some significant, substantial constitutional rights' by pleading guilty, including the right to have a jury determine all issues of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Kenney's attorney had filed an aggravated sentencing objection under Blakely v. Washington that"holds that a trial court may aggravate a defendant's sentence only under certain circumstances," the court of appeals said.
