She thanks me for my services and leaves this one poignant line in the closing: "Life without parole is really a cruel and unusual sentence and I hope one day the people of Georgia will know that it is misused for purposes beyond the scope for which it was intended."

Marissa Devault Sentenced To Life In Prison For Murdering Husband With Hammer PHOENIX (AP) — A jury on Wednesday spared the life of an Arizona woman convicted of beating her husband to death with a hammer, sentencing her to life in prison instead of the death penalty.
