FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. -A judge set the trial date for a Fayetteville mother of a kidnapped and murdered five-year-old girl Friday afternoon.

Judge James Ammons set the trial date for Antionette Davis for October 14. Authorities said the trial is expected to last four to six weeks.

Davis, the mother of Shaniya Davis, faces a list of charges including murder, child abuse, and trafficking. Davis is accused of giving her daughter to Mario McNeill for sex and to settle a drug debt in November 2009.

Shaniya's body was found a few days after she was reported missing.

McNeill was convicted of murder and sentenced to death in May. Davis is not expected to appear before the judge Friday.

Antoinette Davis, her head bowed and her face wet with tears, apologized in the courtroom Friday after accepting a plea deal that will send her to prison for at least 17 years for the murder of her daughter Shaniya.

Davis, 29, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, first-degree sex offense and other charges after a judge ruled that, at her Oct. 28 trial, prosecutors could use the incriminating statements she made to police.

In those statements, Davis admitted giving her 5-year-old to Mario McNeill so he could have sex with her to settle a $200 debt. Six days later, in November 2009, Shaniya's body was found dumped in woods off N.C. 87.

Davis faced life in prison if convicted of first-degree murder. But Friday afternoon, during a motions hearing in Cumberland County Superior Court, she accepted the plea and apologized to Shaniya's father, Brad Lockhart.

"I want to say I did what I could as a mother," Davis said. "... I was there to protect my daughter. He knew that. And I knew he felt the same way himself."
