Sarah Hartsfield, the Texas woman accused of killing her most recent husband with a fatal dose of insulin two years ago, was convicted of murder Wednesday.

The verdict came after about an hour of deliberations and seven days of testimony in a trial that focused almost as much on allegations from Hartsfield’s past as it did on the death of Joseph Hartsfield — her fifth husband — on Jan. 15, 2023.

In her closing argument Wednesday, Chambers County Assistant District Attorney Mallory Vargas said Sarah Hartsfield believed she’d get away with her husband’s murder “because it’s what she’s always done.”

The Samaritan woman in John 4 had had five husbands, but Jesus does not accuse her of killing any of them.

She even looks BAD. Every once in a while I’d have an inmate with this same BAD aura. I never let them get behind me.

Did all five husbands die?

It seems she did it, if so.

Dr. George Cahill studied “Starvation in Man” in the late ‘60’s. He fasted volunteers for forty days. After ten days, their blood ketones were elevated to the point the brain was running on 75% ketones, 25% glucose.

He then gave them enough insulin to lower blood glucose to less than 20, which would normally kill a person, but they were unaffected, as most of the brain’s energy requirements were met by ketones.

I’m ‘enry the eighth I am.
‘enry the eighth I am I am.
I got married to the widow next door.
She’s been married seven times before.
And every one was a ‘enry.
Never a Willie or a Sam.
I’m the eighth old man, I’m ‘enry.
‘enry the eighth I am I am.
‘enry the eighth I am.
