A Detroit woman dubbed the “Crock-Pot killer” after she fatally bludgeoned her longtime friend with a slow cooker in an argument over politics was sentenced Monday to at least 23 years in prison.
Tewana Sullivan, 51, pleaded guilty but mentally ill to second-degree murder charges last month in connection with the death of Cheryl Livy, 66, in Livy’s Livonia apartment on Oct. 22, 2014.
She received the minimum sentence possible, and could have faced up to 50 years in prison.
Sullivan’s attorney, John McWilliams, said the two women were arguing over the 2016 race for president. Sullivan had a blood-alcohol level of 0.41, five times the legal limit for drunken driving in Michigan, when the attack occurred.
“I got into an argument with her. I tried to leave but she wouldn’t let me leave,” Sullivan told Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Michael Hathaway last month when her plea was entered. “We were hitting each other ... . I was a little bit harder at hitting her than she was at hitting me. I hit her with a Crock-Pot ... in her head and all over ... .”
Livy also was armed with cookware, a small cooking pot, though Sullivan never claimed she was acting in self-defense.

"armed with cookware"
How many cookware killings are we going to tolerate? Do iron skillets qualify as Assault WeoPans because their black?

Well to be fair, I do know a lot of people who should never be armed with cookware.
The violence of assault casseroles cannot be tolerated any longer.

I wonder how long this feud had been stewing?
To: cripplecreek
There was probably a can of Campbell’s Condensed Cream of Meth Soup involved as well.

My ex once took after me with one of those little cheese slicers with the roller.
And she also had no business anywhere near cookwear. Have you ever heard a boiled egg scream?
