Sarah Ryan has the details from court.
The woman’s sons testified she gave the children NyQuil and put them to bed. They woke up later to find the house filled with smoke. The decision also included details of a suicide letter sent to the woman’s male friend in a brown paper package, which contained $10,000.The friend later returned the money to her at a roadside meeting after telling her on the phone that he could not accept it.While the defence argued at trial that the consistency of the woman’s story lent credibility to her evidence, the judge found aspects of her interview statement and trial testimony undermined her credibility.
“He relied on reason and common sense, life experience and logic in assessing the appellant’s credibility.”
