Former Ohio doctor gets life for wife's cyanide poisoning death

A former doctor from Ohio poisoned his wife with cyanide five years ago. He was sentenced to life in prison on Tuesday. The jury convicted Yazeed Essa of aggravated murder of his wife by using a cyanide-laced calcium pill. Essa will have a possibility for parole in 20 years. The judge, Deena Calabrese had some choice words for Essa. She said, "it is my great hope and the only that I can think of at this moment that they forget you...and that whatever legacy you had is wiped away." The trial lasted six weeks and had testimony from more than 60 witnesses. Essa's wifes mother also talked about how all her daughter wanted was a loving family and that Yazeed took that away from her. Rosemarie was 38 years old and a former nurse, she was driving to the movies when she felt ill. She then called a friend to say she was sick and that it might be from the supplement her husband gave her. She crashed and hit a car shortly after the conversation.

I agree with the judge, Yazeed should get life in prison. He got the sentence he deserved. I have no idea what motives a person to want to kill another person let alone their spouse. It's really sad that these things happen and i wish we didn't have crime of any kind. He must be a very cold hearted human being. The aticle also talked about him having many mistresses. I think that if you don't want to be with your spouse then get a divorce. Don't continue to have affairs with other women, that's just terrible. This guy deserves to be put behind bars for a very long time. Just think about his poor children, who lost their mother and now lost their father too. He probably wasn't a very loving father in the first place, unless he was good at being two faced. He is a very evil man and abused his powers.
