He was 81 and she had no evidence beyond what someone told her had happened years earlier. The kicker is that she mixed a ton of sugar into the water so that it would stick to him and threw it on him while he was sleeping. Took him quite a long time to die.
don't forget, she took his phone before doing it, so he couldn't call for help, he had to struggle to get to the next door neighour's house and get them to call. It was calculated, and the alleged abuse, is never proven.
There's context being left out all over the place.
.
she is 59, her husband was 81. She had at least two children (unclear if either were his, though it's implied they were). A son and a daughter.
.
14 years ago her son commited suicide. He was 25 years old at the time. The son had previously been arrested for assaulting a man he believed to be a pedophile.
.
It was her daughter that informed this woman that the husband had sexually abused their son when the son was a child.
.
With that in mind, this woman attacked the husband in his sleep with sugar and boiling water. She then left him in the bed while she walked a block or two away before telling a neighbour to call 911.
.
The husband had burns on 36% of his body (and was in agony when paramedics found him, with his skin falling off his arm), but he did not die until a month later, in hospital.
.
She has been sentence to 12 years iirc

^none of this is meant to affirm or disapprove of what she did, just fill in the gaps
