Fox News
The adopted daughter of former President George W. Bush’s Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte was sentenced to 35 years in prison for Yousuf Rasmussen's murder.
Michael Dorgan is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
"The 35-year sentence mirrors the sentence imposed following the first trial in 2023," Montgomery County State’s Attorney John McCarthy said, per The Associated Press. "This is an appropriate and just outcome in light of the seriousness of this crime and the consistent findings of two separate juries who carefully evaluated the evidence."
