LaBarre Jury Gets Case
June 19, 2008
Over the six weeks of her trial, the fury and violence of Sheila LaBarre has not been disputed, nor has the fact that she lured men to her farm and eventually tortured them to death, then tended blazing fires that reduced their bodies to ashes. And yesterday, as they handed the case to jurors to decide, prosecutors and defense attorneys split on why LaBarre committed her crimes.
Prosecutors portrayed LaBarre, 49, as a cunning killer, a black widow who preyed on victims for no reason other than her own sadistic enjoyment. Defense attorneys said their client, who has admitted to killing Kenneth Countie and Michael Deloge, is an emotionally conflicted, profoundly disturbed, absolutely insane woman who kills as the boundaries between the hellish world inside her mind and the real world crumble.
