NEW YORK: A woman convicted of hiring her drug dealing lover to kill her wealthy Indian doctor husband has been sentenced to life imprisonment.
A federal jury in Ohio decided to the send Donna Moonda, 48, to prison without parole after rejecting the prosecution plea for a death sentence. The prosecution had charged the woman with promising her lover half of his 69-year old husband Gulam Moonda's multimillion dollar estate if he killed him.
Moonda had maintained her innocence throughout and her lawyers plan to appeal the decision after she is formally sentenced. The judge cannot change the jury's decision. The jury decided against death sentence after her lawyer David Grant argued that she suffered from personality disorder and her lover, Damian Bradford, 26, was sentenced to seventeen and half years in jail.
