Wife sentenced for lacing drink with antifreeze

UTICA, N.Y. - A woman was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison Wednesday for killing her husband by lacing his drink with antifreeze in hopes of obtaining his life insurance proceeds.
Marguerite Bork insisted she was innocent, saying in a lengthy court statement that she loved Terrance Bork "with all my heart." She also said it was "horrific" for the family to endure a criminal investigation while coping with his death.
Bork, 63, of Ava, was convicted in March of second-degree murder. Her defense attorney plans to appeal, saying the evidence was equally indicative of suicide and that Terrance Bork had been depressed about his deteriorating physical condition.
Terrance Bork, 50, died after consuming a drink laced with odorless, sweet-tasting antifreeze in September 2005. Trial testimony showed he had been hospitalized about six months earlier with the same poisoning symptoms, and that Marguerite Bork had encouraged him to drink a liquid around that time.
Authorities said Bork killed her husband to collect from his life insurance policy after finding out he was having an affair and planning to leave her.

Another woman tired of her husband and killed him by lacing his drink with antifreeze. This is the second woman I know of the tried this method to get rid of an unwanted husband. By the article, one can see this was her second attempt to kill him. I wonder how many times she had tried to poison him in the past. At least justice was served in this horrid case. Money appears to be the factor many times when women kill their spouses.
