West Virginia pharmacist convicted in poisoning death of her husband is sentenced to life in prison

A West Virginia pharmacist who was convicted of poisoning her husband to death with insulin has been sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Natalie Cochran was sentenced Friday after jurors last week found her guilty of first-degree murder in Raleigh County Circuit Court, CBS affiliate WDTV reported.

Cochran's husband, Michael Cochran, 38, died in February 2019. Prosecutors said Natalie Cochran poisoned him with insulin so that he wouldn't find out about a $2 million Ponzi scheme that she admitted to operating from 2017 to 2019.
