Jessy Kurczweski Sentencing

After months of waiting sentencing day has finally arrived.

Jessy Kurczweski was found guilty last November 14, 2023, in the death of Lynn Hernan. Jessy allegedly put Visine in Lynn's drink causing her to become ill and eventually pass away. Lynn's death was originally ruled a self-deletion by investigators. Had Jessy kept her mouth closed and not inquired about Lynn's estate one too many times... she may have gotten away with it. Along with causing Lynn's death, Jessy was found guilty of stealing money from Lynn and Lynn's estate.

Her original sentencing date was December 7, 2023. However, during that hearing, Jessy's public defenders asked Judge Dorow to allow them to withdraw because of statements Jessy made about how they represented her in interviews after her trial and noted a 37-page letter was allegedly mailed from the jail with instructions on how to forge a recording of Lynn saying her death was by Lynn's own doing.

A status hearing was set for January 12, 2024, and Judge Dorow appointed Jessy new public defenders. During that hearing, one public defender asked to withdraw, and a new public defender was appointed.

I assume she will be sentenced today, but one can never tell with this case. In Wisconsin, there is only one outcome for Jessy, and that is life. We will have to wait and see if Judge Dorow allows her to be eligible for parole after serving a set number of years.
