Linda Kosuda-Bigazzi had pleaded guilty to manslaughter and larceny charges.

A Connecticut woman was found dead at her home on Wednesday, hours before she was scheduled to be sentenced for killing her husband.

Linda Kosuda-Bigazzi, 76, pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter in March in the 2017 death of her husband, 84-year-old Pierluigi Bigazzi, according to the Connecticut Division of Criminal Justice. Police found the University of Connecticut Health doctor and professor dead in the basement of the couple's Burlington home while responding to a welfare check call from his employer, who had not heard from him for several months, prosecutors said.

Kosuda-Bigazzi also pleaded guilty to first-degree larceny for continuing to receive her husband's pay following his death, according to the Connecticut Division of Criminal Justice. Investigators found that checks from her husband's employer were deposited into the couple's joint checking account from his death in July 2017 until the discovery of his body in February 2018, prosecutors said.

At that age that was likely a pension.

Why is someone who is already found guilty of manslaughter out on bail?

[–] M500@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago

They didn’t get sentenced yet. After being guilty the judges and lawyer may have additional meetings to discuss how long a person should be sentenced for so while they are waiting for that, the guilty party can be in jail, let allowed to be at home, or pay bail to be at home.
