I was shocked she isn’t serving life in prison.
All things considered, this is pretty light.
A woman who was previously convicted of murdering her then-husband’s ex-girlfriend in North Carolina has now also been found guilty of trying to help him dispose of that body in Texas.
Amanda Perry (Tucker) Hayes, 46, was convicted on Monday of the second-degree felony of tampering with evidence to impair its availability, for trying to dissolve the body of her ex-husband’s ex-girlfriend in acid and then tossing it into an alligator-infested lake in Texas.
She was first found guilty of second-degree murder of Laura Ackerson, 27, on February 18, 2014.
Grant Hayes, 39, shared two children with Ackerson, who she came over to pick up from the Hayes’ Raleigh, North Carolina apartment when the married couple murdered her in July of 2011.
Amanda was sentenced to serve 20 years in prison by the Honorable Maggie Jaramillo of the 400th District Court in Texas for the tampering with the evidence charge.
The sentence will run consecutively to Amanda’s North Carolina sentence, which was 13 to 16.5 years in prison, beginning in 2014, WRAL reported.
Crazy times. They tried to dispose of the body by feeding it to alligators. It didn’t work.
