Texas prosecutors announced that Magen Fieramusca pled guilty to the 2019 murder of Heidi Broussard, who was found strangled a week after she and her 3-week-old daughter Margot disappeared.
Fieramusca, who waived her right to appeal, was sentenced to 55 years in prison, Travis County District Attorney José Garza said in a statement on Thursday.
"We are hopeful that this outcome will bring some closure to the Broussard and Carey families and help them continue their healing process," Garza said. "This outcome will save the families from having to endure the difficult post-conviction litigation process."
Supreme Court to weigh constitutionality today of anti-camping ordinances in major homelessness case
Washington — The Supreme Court is convening Monday to hear arguments in a dispute over whether laws that ban public camping violate the Constitution's prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment.
Opening statements are set to begin this morning in former President Donald Trump's criminal trial in New York. Prosecutors will begin laying out their case for jurors, alleging Trump falsified business records to cover up a "hush money" payment during his 2016 campaign, while defense attorneys are expected to argue Trump has been charged on flimsy evidence from an untrustworthy key witness.
