Still waiting for an update on when the sentencing will take place on the drug charges. I can't find any news about it anywhere.
She's facing 20 years in federal prison, and the only question is whether the judge will make it run consecutively to her murder sentence.

"Baker was not sentenced Thursday, however she will be back in federal court at a later date to learn her sentence.
But Scott Broyles, a former federal prosecutor and Charlotte School of Law professor, says there are guidelines to Baker's sentencing. He says now a judge will decide if her sentence will run at the same time or after her murder conviction.
"In this situation, I don't see a reason why the federal judge would sentence other then on consecutive grounds," said Broyles. "There may be some peculiarity and they, he or she certainly has some discretion."
Meanwhile, Baker will be serving her 18-year sentence on second-degree murder charges in the death of Zahra Baker."
