Court gunman’s widow sentenced to life in prison

(AP) – The ailing widow of a man who killed his former daughter-in-law at a Delaware courthouse has been sentenced to life in prison.

Sixty-nine-year-old Lenore Matusiewicz was sentenced Friday afternoon while lying in a bed at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia.
    
A federal judge scheduled the emergency sentencing after attorneys agreed it needed to take place in the hospital to ensure that Matusiewicz receives essential medical care.
    
Her son, David Matusiewicz, told The Associated Press in an email last week that he had been told his mother had only three to six months left to live. He didn’t say why.
    
David, his mother, and his sister, Amy Gonzalez, were convicted of cyberstalking resulting in the 2013 death of David’s ex-wife, Christine Belford.
    
Prosecutors are also seeking life sentences for David Matusiewicz and Gonzalez.
