LIFE IN PRISON WITHOUT PAROLE FOR HAWKEY

Life in prison with­out pos­si­bil­ity of parole. That’s the grim out­look now fac­ing 45 year old Judith Hawkey after she was sen­tenced Thurs­day after­noon in Defi­ance County Court.

A jury on Novem­ber 8th, found Hawkey guilty of aggre­vated mur­der in the 2003 shoot­ing death of her hus­band, four counts of endan­ger­ing chil­dren, and insur­ance fraud.

For the second-degree felony endan­ger­ment con­vic­tion, Hawkey will serve eight years con­cur­rent with her life sen­tence. For the four lesser charges, she will serve three years each, con­sec­u­tively, and con­cur­rent with her life sentence.
