No one who intentionally attempts to take the life of another person should ever be considered for deferred incarceration. Who knows if her husband will suffer permanent damage from what she did to him.
Don't want to hurt anyones delicate feelings here, but, if she were the victim, and her husband attempted to kill her by the same means, would he have received the wet bus ticket treatment ?
The problem is the state of Iowa never charged her with muder - but, to your point, he would have seen the better part of a life sentence had roles been switched. Small town prosecutors, I guess.
@@lanie-ok you’re right that would be an inadequate sentence for attempted murder, but this was not attempted murder. This was poisoning.

@@aeromedical6776 exactly, did you not read what I wrote? It SHOULDVE BEEN ATTEMPTED MURDER, but the DA who charges crimes was legally only able to give her the poisoning charge which only hold a max 5 yr sentence. No one said it’s fair, but it’s American law. Deal with it and don’t marry a person you can’t trust because they may try to kill you and only get a five year sentence. lol I’m not sure what you want me to say I didn’t make the laws. This isn’t my fault. I’m just letting you know why it happened like it did. I guess this is your first introduction into how convoluted the American legal system is.
She got the maximum sentence for the crimes she was convicted of. This judge was as heavy handed as she could legally be, so what are you complaining about.
If you listen to it again the judge said the prosecutor recommended a suspended sentence and the majority of the time that means you’ll get that. But the judge denied that and gave her the max. I’d call that a surprise.
Just because she is a woman I dare say! If it was the husband on trial the outcome would have been different and a minimum sentence of 10 to 30 years! What a joke!
This is ATTEMPTED MURDER! Why is ATTEMPTED MURDER a 5 year sentence when if she was successful as she intended to murder her husband, it would have a harsher penalty? Just because he lived??? WTF?!?! This is a slap in the face of a VICTIM. Society is not safe with this MURDERER AS THAT’S WHAT SHE IS!!!
It’s ridiculous. But if it would’ve been a different judge she wouldn’t have even got the five years. So often they give the minimum, if not just dismiss everything!
The state cut deal because that's what they could prove. The fines are just part of the sentence. The judge didn't write the laws. Prison is a bad place, and five years is long long time. Imagine spending the last five years in a state prison. For a 50 year old, that's 10% of their life. That's a long time.
Judge should be ashamed of herself. That woman intended to murder her husband. 5 years is a complete joke. His life is worth more than that. The justice system in this country would be laughable if it wasn't a complete tragedy.
You say she "intended to murder her husband." Prove it. He did not die. She was not charged BY THE DA with attempted murder because it would have been difficult to prove the charge. The judge does not decide what the defendant is charged with. Why is that so difficult for people to understand?
No they don’t. Jerzz you people that keep blathering out that same nonsense, sound absurd. In almost all 50 states pot will get you a citation and sent on your way. Unless you’ve got pounds of weed. And even then it depends if you’re breaking other laws at the same time and what the persons criminal record is. Your understanding of the legal system is pathetic lol!
I had to replay the video to ensure I had heard right the first time when the judge mentioned concern for her family, including CURRENT HUSBAND. I haven't followed this case enough to know whether or not he was supporting her as being innocent - if he views her as anything other than extremely dangerous, he really needs to wake up. Hearing she was only sentenced to 5 years spiked my blood pressure a bit. Somehow I don't believe any of those mandated prison programs/courses are going to touch the evil behind the crime. All the best to her husband (the intended target, first one - she may have wanted to perfect her skills on the next guy in due course).
Iowa maximum sentence for her crime she pled to is 5 years. That is the MAXIMUM sentence allowed. This is why it is important who we vote in our state legislature.
She sentenced her to the maximum available to the court. Go back and listen when she covers the minimum and maximum. 5 years was the longest she could sentence her. This is an issue of who you vote in for your state. Sentencing guidelines are a state issue.
The judge gave the maximum possible under the plea deal the prosecutors offered. The prosecutors asked her to give only probation, NO time. In this case the fault wasn't with the judge.
The sentence is a lighter penalty than the torturous lecture and reading of the sentence, etc. This judge labored and rambled through slapping this woman on the wrist for attempted murder! 🤨
The person who wrote the description for this video should check their information prior to publishing. They have the sentence down as eleven years when it was only five. Five is too little for attempting to disable or possibly murder her husband. Testament to her character so no wonder he told her wanted a divorce.
The biggest question is why did the state request a suspended sentence ? If it weren't for the judge this lady would be walking out of the courtroom on her own.
Really, defer judgment is saying that it’s not that serious. But she tried to poison and l believe probably to kill her husband. She been found guilty and she should be punished for her crime. I don’t believe she has any mercy on her husband.
Melody Ferris pulled something like this before she resorted to shoot & burning her husband Gary. RIP Gary. This monster here should have been charged with attempted murder.
The title of this video says the woman "is STUNNED as judge delivers shocking sentence." The defendant didn't seem all that "STUNNED" to me. And what was "shocking" about the sentence - too short?
At one time back in 2010, my husband threatened to put those eyedrop’s in my drink. Then I got severely ill and the ambulance had to be called and I told the ambulance workers that my husband said he was going to put eyedrop in my drink, and they never did anything to him. Spent five days in the hospital on NPO.😎 may he RIP
It’s disgusting to hear the defense ask for deferred adjudication which would mean probation and when done the charges come off the record. If she tried to poison her spouse then she should go to prison. Same goes to anyone else who does that.
The State requested that the sentence be suspended and she be given probation. This would have been part of the plea deal, but the judge isn't obligated to actually do it.
So The State had asked that her sentence be suspended and THAT is some BS!! The State, NOT her defense. I’m so glad the judge denied that! She deserves to go to prison for what she’s done.
Sooo basically what the judge is saying is, next time try harder. They'll give u another chance in 5 years. Once she murders someone, will the judge be sued for releasing a murderer? No
The only “shocking” thing about this sentence is that it was far too light.
I know! I was waiting for the shock!
She pretty much got away with it
Shocking they was most concerned with making sure the fines and surcharges got sorted out.
totally agree.
No one who intentionally attempts to take the life of another person should ever be considered for deferred incarceration. Who knows if her husband will suffer permanent damage from what she did to him.
Seems to me a person should serve more than 5 yrs for attempted murder!!
The infamous Dalia Dipolito got like 15-20 years for attempted murder 😳😳👎🏽

I think its 11yrs
@@WalterJ-i9rNo, it was only 5 years.
“You attempted to hurt your husband” WHAT???? Try again, judge… she attempted to KILL her husband! Unreal. They are more concerned about the fees!
Agreed. More soft on crime, sigh.
They didn't charge her with attempted murder, did they? They charged what they could prove.
On NUMEROUS occasions 🤬she should have been charged separately for each attempt
The judge gave her all that she could. Her hands were tied bc of what the charges were.
I wonder when people will realize the courts and who is allowed justice or not, is all about money in our communities just exactly as you say
No she meant to KILL her husband. judge
Don't want to hurt anyones delicate feelings here, but, if she were the victim, and her husband attempted to kill her by the same means, would he have received the wet bus ticket treatment ?
But when she plead down to the current charge, the Judge cannot sentence her to what she’s didn’t plead to.
Yeah, but that’s not what the state charges her with. How she managed that, who knows.
The problem is the state of Iowa never charged her with muder - but, to your point, he would have seen the better part of a life sentence had roles been switched.
