(KSL News) -- A Salt Lake woman today pleaded guilty to shaking her baby to death.

Julie Archuletta admitted to shaking her five-month old son until he stopped breathing, and then calling 9-1-1. She claims she was high on drugs that day a year and a half ago.

In return for the guilty plea, prosecutors reduced the charge to second-degree child abuse homicide. She will be sentenced in May.
