If the husband died, and she got away with it, but after 10 years she confessed after someone threaten to tell. How much jail time would she be serving? ( It's for a book I'm writing for school~ any answers much appreicated.)

Answer 1

Probably life. She might even be up for the death penality depending on the state. That's a creepy question, by the way.

Answer 2

You would have to know or research the laws and sentencing guidelines in the state where the crime took place, at the time the crime took place.
A woman from Mercer, PA is currently being accused of having her husband, a doctor, killed. The woman's lover has already confessed. The district attorney in Ohio, where the crime took place, is seeking the death penalty for the wife. The lover pleaded guilty and is facing a life sentence.

i became born while my mum and dad have been 38.. i actually do not see the difficulty... my pal is 13 and her dad is sixty 5 ideal now... you may artwork out the age as a results of fact it somewhat is 9am, i cant be afflicted... there is not something incorrect with it for my area... as long as you have young little ones, why not. i comprehend there is extra advantageous threat of having a sprint one with a concern like downs, yet those days you may get an amniocentesis or your eggs screened to decrease or supply you with a warning, and that i'm specific many mum and dad could nevertheless proceed with the being pregnant. i think of while human beings start up attending to their 60s and artificially do it, it somewhat is the difficulty. the youngster could finally end up looking after the make certain.

Answer 4

That all depends on her attorney. After going through a whole bunch of legal stuff with my oldest son, I have learned that the law really does not matter much any more. It's all about how much money you have to throw at a lawyer to go to the court and have things go away.

Answer 5

she'll get 10 years for (man-slaughter first degree) how ever she will be able to cut a deal if she is willing to rat on the hired hitman, so she might get a year or two with parol. If she doesn't wanna rat on the hitman then she wont be able to cut a deal but she 'll get 5 years due to her confession..

Answer 6

If she confessed to the crime it's premeditated (1st degree) and the penalty (if convicted) depends on the state the person lives in.
All states have a criminal code in their statutes which list crimes and their probable penalties.
As far as I know, no state has a statute of limitations of murder.

Answer 7

I recall watching a similar story on court tv--even though the story that I was watching was about a serial murderer, he was still convicted for EVERY death that he FINALLY confessed to 20 yrs. later and was given the death penalty... I also think it depends on the states laws. Hopefully she would be given life for taking someone elses....

Answer 8

Its called conspiracy to commit murder. Carries a first degree charge... equal to life without the possibility of parole or death...depending. no statute of limitations so it wouldn't matter if she got caught right after or thirty years from now..... same charge and punishment.

Answer 9

depends on the state. And she could possibly cut a deal for confessing. my guess 10yrs- life depending on the evidence to support her confession

Answer 10

Probably murder 2 and obstruction of justice. She was an accomplice to murder, regardless of whether or not she actually poisoned him directly or not.

Are you calling your book: "I didn't help poison my husband, but if I did this is how I would have done it"?
