An Ohio mom has been sentenced to 40 years behind bars after she was caught on camera ambushing her ex-husband and fatally injecting him with a powerful animal tranquilizer during an ugly custody dispute over their kids, federal prosecutors said.

Amanda Hovanec, 37, pleaded guilty this week to poisoning 36-year-old Timothy Hovanec when he arrived to drop off their three daughters at her Wapakoneta home in 2022. “She then pulled on his back to bring him to the ground, holding him around the neck until his body went limp and he became unresponsive, lying on the driveway,” prosecutors said.

Newly released footage of the disturbing attack, which was captured on the father’s dashcam camera, showed Hovanec telling the girls she had a “surprise” for them when they emerged from the car, the feds said.

"All involved should be hung by the neck until dead.
Those poor children."

Especialy if the children loved their father.

Apparently they did.

Hopefully the dad's family has custody.

Bring back the guillotine.

I’d be the Sanson that pulled the lever.

Yeah, don’t bother searching for a picture. Even Laz wouldn’t touch that.

[Larry Lucido]

Well, at least after 40 years the kids will be grown up.

There are two pictures of her with the article. Wow are they different.

I thought the 2nd one was her mother.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

If we read the same article, one is of her and one is of her mother who helped her hide the body.

[tired&retired]

Yes, I see that now.

I saw the resemblance, but article was difficult to read on my phone.

[Bikkuri]

She (the mother) looks like a meth-head.

[Windcatcher]

Let me get this straight. SHE GAVE HIM A LETHAL INJECTION and she isn’t going to get the same thing??? WTF?

[17th Miss Regt]

She pleaded guilty to the murder. That usually takes the death penalty off the table.

[EvilCapitalist]

I wouldn’t necessarily say that. After all, Laz wanted this one. https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3654714/posts
