If MT goes to trial, she might get the full 25 years, but if she pleas, she might only get 8 as Jennifer Valiante did.
JV's boyfriend, Kyle Navin, received 55 years for killing his parents, to be served concurrently.
Kyle Navin Gets 55 Years For 'Black-Hearted Crime' Of Killing His Parents
These are just my thoughts, but why does the judicial system seem too lax when it comes to sentencing for murder in a lot of cases.
I see a big disadvantage here for both a harsh and/or lenient sentence for MT.
With FD dead and no body, there's no turning the witness to cooperate with prosecution.
On the other hand, this a good opportunity for her defense to blame the dead man -- create reasonable doubt.
MT could be sentenced to life in prison and I still won't be satisfied.
