WAMPSVILLE, N.Y. (AP) - A Madison County woman was found guilty of first-degree manslaughter, assault and weapon possession in the December 2007 death of her live-in boyfriend.
It was the second trial for Brenda Lee Hartman of Sullivan. A state appeals court overturned her 2008 conviction earlier this year. The appeal was based on the judge's refusal to postpone the first trial so the defense could secure a psychiatric expert witness.
A jury of 7 men and five women delivered an identical verdict Friday in Hartman's trial for fatally stabbing Thomas Winn in the back.
Madison County Judge Dennis McDermott scheduled sentencing for Jan. 5.
