Lupara,

De Vito's wife was questioned by police on April 1, 2009, the day after their two daughters were found dead.

There was a previous trial in which the jury found her guilty of first-degree murder. The conviction was appealed, and it was overturned in 2013 -- she has been free on bail ever since the conviction was overturned.

Before the jury in this second trial was sequestered for deliberations regarding a verdict, the jurors were unaware -- and remained unaware -- of the previous conviction and it having been overturned on appeal in 2013.

The judge in this second trial will determine the sentence. The Crown is seeking 14 years before Sorella is eligible for parole; the defence lawyer is seeking the minimum 10 years. The Crown could have sought the maximum sentence of 25 years but chose not to.

I will have to look up where Sorella was detained after she was arrested -- hospital? -- and whether the period of detention counts for credit toward the upcoming sentence.

Cross-posting.
