A serial fraudster who murdered her friend by lacing her water with eyedrops to steal everything she owned sobbed as she was jailed by a merciless judge.
Jessy Kurczewski, 39, wept as she read a self-indulgent two-hour statement to the Waukesha County Circuit Court on Friday maintaining her innocence.
Her tears failed to move Judge Jennifer Dorow, who deliberately tallied up the sentences so she would stay behind bars until she was at least 80.
Kurczewski murdered Lynn Hernan, 62, by handing her a bottle of water with a fatal dose of six vials of tetrahydrozoline, the main ingredient in Visine eyedrops.
She then arranged the scene to look like a suicide before committing almost $300,000 of fraud, including writing a $130,204 check from the victim to herself.
Hernan was found dead at her home in Milwaukee on October 3, 2018, after her murderer called police saying she found her unresponsive.
The killer swindler was arrested on July 9, 2019 and claimed it was suicide or an accidental overdose at her trial, where she was found guilty on November 14.
Kurczewski showed no remorse or self-awareness during her statement to the court on Friday, declaring 'I cannot be silenced'.
'The truth is, I did not kill Lynn... she took her own life by suicide or she accidentally overdosed,' she said.
Becoming increasingly emotional, she accused the state of ruining her life until she was sobbing in her chair struggling to continue.
'It is a lot to be accused and convicted of murder, when I didn't do it. It won't bring her back, and it won't make her loss any easier,' she sobbed.
'You're holding me responsible for what SHE did - those were her decisions, her choices, her actions, and no one else's, not even mine.'

'You'll craft fake documents, you'll try to cover up your tracks, you'll justify it, and then you'll blame others in the process when you get caught.'
Of the escalation to murder, she said: 'I think you thought you were a very good thief, and you could get away with even more.'
Perfect judge for the Veggie Pedo Pete chicom bribe loot case.
Merciful to the criminal is mercilessness to the victim.
Some friend.
It seems rather likely that this was a lesbian relationship, yet mentioning that that would be discouraged - unless the murderer was of a nonPC class.
Egads!what is that on the left?
The death penalty needs to be brought back.
Hard to believe anyone can think they can get away with that.
The one on the left , “She’s dead, Jim”.
Riiiight . When someone wants to OD, the poison of choice is eye drops. Happens every day.
That was the friend that the one on the right murdered.
Criminals are generally stupid.
Where we lived once, a guy wanted to rob the local grocery store. So he bought a pack of gum to get the cashier to open the drawer. Problem was, he had only a dollar and the gum was a little more.
However, the gum was on sale with the store card and she told him that. So he hands her the card, she rings up the purchase, and he robs her.
Soon as he left, she reported it, they looked up his store card information, and the police were waiting for him when he got home.
Needed to be poisoned for appearance alone. Looks rather like a dude!
