A Wisconsin woman who was found guilty of killing her friend by overdosing on eye drops received a life sentence with the possibility of parole.
In November, Jessy Kurczewski, 40, of Franklin, was convicted of killing Lynn Hernan, 62, of Pewaukee, by poisoning her in October 2018. She was convicted of two felonies related to theft.
The evidence put forth by the prosecution suggested that Kurczewski committed the crime to avoid being caught for stealing nearly $300,000 from the hair salon.
According to The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Kurczewski received a maximum sentence of five years for each of the theft charges. Kurczewski’s chances of being freed for at least 40 years are virtually eliminated due to a string of consecutive sentences and a minimum of 30 years on the murder conviction.
