MARY MARLOWE SOMMER: I did not hear you take accountability in your allocution. You said you were sorry. You were sorry, but not you were sorry for what you did. You were sorry for-- and hope they can find peace. It was your attorney that had to tell the court that you were remorseful.

The word "remorse," a deep regret, coming from a sense of guilt for past wrongs. That's not you. You're hereby sentenced as follows. Stand.

I'm sentencing you to 18 months of incarceration at a New Mexico women's correctional facility. I find that what you did constitutes a serious violent offense. It was committed in a physically violent manner-- a fatal gunshot done with your recklessness in the face of knowledge that your acts were reasonably likely to result in serious harm.

You were the armorer, the one that stood between a safe weapon and a weapon that could kill someone. You alone turned a safe weapon into a lethal weapon. But for you, Ms. Hutchins would be alive, a husband would have his partner, and a little boy would have his mother.
