BREAKING: Verdict in Murder trial is in
17 years?
The jury gave her a seventeen (17) year sentence.
I do not know what amount of fine.
Since it is a 3(g) offense she will have to do at least 1/2 of the assessed time at TDCJ before she can be considered eligible for parole. So she will have to serve 81/2 years at a minimum.
I will not comment on the length of the sentence other than to say I was wrong in my prediction and that I hardly think it is a sufficient sentence considering the jury convicted her of murder.
