Bigbee's attorney, Joan Anthony, told ABC News that Bigbee is hoping for leniency.

"We don't know what to expect," Anthony said. "I have no idea what the court could do."

Anthony said that they made the no contest decision at the last minute decided not to enter into a full trial.

When asked if Bigbee would be apologizing, Anthony replied, "Apologize to who? She doesn't have a reason to apologize."
