Fox News
Lauren Pazienza, 28, was sentenced Friday to eight-and-a-half years in prison for the unprovoked shoving death of 87-year-old Broadway voice coach Barbara Maier Gustern in 2022.
Pazienza left Barbara Maier Gustern bleeding on a Chelsea sidewalk soon after the woman cracked her head March 10, 2022, as a result of Pazienza's shove. She suffered a "massive hemorrhage" on the left side of her brain and died after five days in a hospital.
The defendant could have faced 25 years in prison if she hadn’t taken the plea deal and had been found guilty by a jury.
