Jessy Kurczewski, 39, was sentenced to life in prison for the 2018 murder of her friend Lynn Hernan, 62,with eyedrops. Despite Kurczewski’s tearful plea of innocence during her sentencing, the judge remained resolute in her decision.
Kurczewski poisoned Hernan by lacing her water with eyedrops, causing her death. Following the murder, Kurczewski committed extensive fraud, including writing checks to herself from Hernan’s accounts.
During her emotional statement to the court, Kurczewski continued to assert her innocence, claiming Hernan’s death was either suicide or accidental. However, the judge handed down a life sentence with a minimum of 30 years before parole eligibility, ensuring Kurczewski would likely remain in prison until she was at least 80 years old.
The judge’s decision was influenced by Kurczewski’s extensive criminal history and lack of remorse. Despite Kurczewski’s attempts to shift blame and maintain her innocence, the judge emphasized the severity of her crimes and their impact on the victim’s family.
Throughout the trial, evidence revealed Kurczewski’s financial motives, including substantial thefts from Hernan’s accounts both before and after her death. Despite Kurczewski’s claims of innocence, the court found her guilty of murder and theft, holding her accountable for her actions.
The sentencing brings closure to a tragic case that saw Kurczewski betray her friend’s trust for financial gain, leaving behind a legacy of deceit and destruction.
