5/2/25 Update: At a sentencing hearing in King County Superior Court on Friday, Natalie’s father Michael Gulizia held up his daughter’s diary, a spray of pink flowers adorning its cover. He read from several entries, including one in which Natalie said she&d her brother never felt safe under their mother’s care, no matter what they did. Laurel was someone Gulizia said he was sure would kill again, if given the chance. King County prosecutors requested Laurel be sentenced to about 39 years in prison — the high end of the standard sentencing guidelines — after she pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, first-degree attempted murder & unlawful imprisonment in January. Laurel had devised an “elaborate & meticulous” plan to kill her ex-husband & could not be trusted to live in public safely, prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memo. Laurel’s defense attorneys requested an “exceptional sentence” of about 20 years, below the standard sentencing guidelines, arguing she was “markedly impaired” by a year of emotional stressors that were compounded by post-traumatic stress disorder, fibromyalgia, depression & a childhood traumatic brain injury. Judge Poydras decided on a “midpoint,” sentencing Laurel to about 33 years in prison & six years of community custody & to pay a restitution of an undetermined amount.
