A Sudbury jury has found Felicity Altiman guilty of second-degree murder in the December 2020 stabbing death of Robert Keskinen, 75, after two days of deliberations.
Altiman, 43, wore a black, long-sleeved casual shirt with white stripes down both arms and appeared animated as the verdict was announced Wednesday afternoon.
She was seen swinging back and forth in her chair as the foreman announced the verdict, and each juror – six men and six women -- confirmed they had voted guilty.
Altiman, who has been in jail since her arrest Jan. 7, 2021, appeared visibly upset and teary-eyed as courtroom security placed her in handcuffs to leave the courtroom.
Second-degree murder comes with an automatic sentence of life in prison, but the judge gets to determine how long she must spend in incarceration before she becomes eligible for parole.
