A Utah woman who wrote children’s books about grief is sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the poisoning death of her husband. Prosecutors said she killed him by lacing a cocktail with a fatal amount of fentanyl. The court convicts her of murder, and a judge imposes the sentence on Wednesday. Sources report that the husband would have been 44 years old on that date. The defendant is described as a grief author and a mother who published a children’s book following her husband’s death, which became central to the case as authorities alleged she was responsible for his death. The sentencing decision reflects the court’s finding that she intentionally caused her husband’s death using fentanyl. Both outlets describe the punishment as life in prison without parole, with no reported outcome other than the sentence being imposed.
