Friend sensed nothing unusual about LaBarre until her arrest
June 12, 2008
In the days leading up to Sheila LaBarre’s arrest, there was nothing unusual about her behavior or her appearance, according to an acquaintance who spent time with LaBarre from March 20 to March 24, 2006.
Prosecution witness Michelle Bennett testified Wednesday about the only time she met Kenneth Countie, foul odors inside and outside the LaBarre home, and strange statements LaBarre made over those few days — but nothing she found to be out of the ordinary.
Most poignantly, Bennett recalled joking with LaBarre about how she would kill someone.
“Sheila said she would take a knife and do this,” Bennett said, mimicking a stabbing motion in the chest.
“I did not,” LaBarre shouted from the defendant’s table before her defense attorneys hushed her.
