This 76-year-old woman carried out a mercy killing by shooting her terminally ill husband in his hospital bed. This is the moment she was sentenced. >> Because I can't fathom the difficulty of watching your husband's medical condition deteriorate to the point that he was in that constant kind of pain and and wishing that he were dead. I can't understand that. I can't begin to understand how difficult it would have been for you to actually pull the trigger to assist your husband in ending his own life. Um I do believe that that is what you did. And so the punishment that I'm going to impose in this case is related to the other charges against you primarily. Um I've heard from the victims today and I am highly persuaded by that testimony about the trauma that was inflicted on them. So ma'am, I am going to adjudicate you guilty. You will be a convicted felon as a result of this incident. I'm going to sentence you to 366 days doc. That's prison. Um and you will get credit for the 42 days that you served. that'll be followed by 12 years of probation. Um the probationary terms are that you have to write letters of apology to the civilian victims and the six law enforcement victims that were identified in the indictment. And then this is an important part of the sentence as well. I want you to perform a minimal amount of community service hours per month for as long as you're physically able to do that. I want you to do eight community service hours a month. So that's maybe two a week. And I I don't care what you do, but I want you to realize again that your life still continues to have value and you can contribute to society.
