Bristol County prosecutors have offered plea bargains to two Attleboro sect members set to face trial in connection with the 51-day starvation death of infant Samuel Robidoux, a source said yesterday.

“There are only discussions going on right now,” said a source.

A deal is in the works with Karen Robidoux, the mother of the 11-month-old infant, who allegedly deprived her son of table food, and Michelle Mingo, the boy’s aunt, who said his diet of only breast milk came to her in a vision from God.

Robidoux, 26, is scheduled to be tried on Sept. 3 on a second-degree murder charge. If found guilty, she would automatically be sentenced to life in prison, but would be eligible for parole in 15 years.
If she accepts the prosecutors’ plea, Robidoux would serve 10 years on a reduced charge of manslaughter, the source said.
