LITTLEVALLEY— Cheryl L. Gasper is scheduled for sentencing to 18 years in prison today in Cattaraugus County Court for her role in the murder of her husband in Yorkshire in 1994.
Gasper, 47, of Chaffee, has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder of Andie Gasper, 32, on July 3, 1994, and in a plea arrangement faces sentencing by Judge Larry M. Himelein to 18 years to life in prison.
According to police, Gasper and her ex-lover, Randall Knight, 56, of Ohio, discussed killing Andie Gasper in a plot that Randall carried out when he stabbed his former friend behind a plaza in Yorkshire.
Knight was acquitted of murder charges at a trial in 1995 during which Cheryl Gasper testified.
Earlier this year, the FBI and a Cattaraugus County Cold Case Unit reopened the case that led to Knight’s arrest for crossing state lines to commit murder.
Knight was sentenced Nov. 3 in U. S. District Court to serve 22 years in prison.
