Jamie Baker, now 47, faces 15 years in prison after admitting to killing her husband
A woman has admitted to killing her weightlifter husband by lacing his steroid injections with antifreeze.
Forty-seven-year-old Jamie Baker faces 15 years to life in prison for poisoning her 42-year-old husband James Baker, a competitive weightlifter who died in September 2013. Authorities said an autopsy found ethylene glycol in his system. The chemical is found in antifreeze.

“Is murder that cheap of a crime now?”
I admit to not reading the article, but I am guessing the evidence was weak and the DA went for a plea bargain.
And I’m sure she had plenty of time to have second thoughts and change her mind, I imagine he had to take several doses over time to end his life. 15 years is nothing!
In classic Hillbilly fashion, by the time I came home, some intrepid mountaineer had scavenged it from the road, for purposes unknown.
I didn't even have time to buy a balloon.
[of course, there is the odd off-chance that it was only stunned, and got back up and ran off on its own]
Been there done that:
Forensic Files - Season 14, Ep 7: Freeze Framed: "In 2005, David Castor suffered a slow, agonizing death over a period of days. His wife Stacey maintained it was suicide, even though it was done with antifreeze. Police were skeptical, especially when they learned Stacey's first husband Michael Wallace died when he was only 38 years old and she refused to consent to an autopsy. Originally aired as Season 14, Episode 7.."
Had that exact thing happen - with a deer. Bumped it, stopped to investigate. The animal was just lying there disoriented. I went up the road to get someone to call the game commission and by the time I got back it had got up and on its way.
I’ve come upon several deer like that.
One was right over a blind hill and another car was coming.
We grabbed her legs and dragged her off the road, seconds before the car would have surely used her as a high-speed bump.
We stayed a bit and she took off, none the worse except for a bloody nose.
LOL!
Awesome.
I swear I’ve seen one where the deer was propped up better, but I can’t find it online.
Maybe it got tired and laid down a spell.
:D
Nothing says I am a poacher like hunting deer in the pitch dark.
LMAO.
I wonder if Laz would hit it...?
