ALFRED, Maine (AP) — A judge has imposed a life prison sentence on a New York man and a 40-year sentence on his sister in Maine in the killing of her husband in Old Orchard Beach.
The sentences were handed down in back-to-back hearings Monday for Jeffrey Williams of West Hempstead, N.Y., and his sister, Darlene George, in York County Superior Court.
The two were tried together and convicted in the 2008 death of George’s husband, Winston George, who was tied up and suffocated in his Old Orchard home. A rum bottle was shoved down his throat.
A third suspect pleaded guilty and testified against the two. Rennie Cassimy told jurors he and Darlene George were having an affair and that she came up with the plan. He’ll likely be deported to his native Trinidad and Tobago after he completes an eight-year sentence.
