APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) – A woman has been found guilty of killing her husband in 2012 at a Grand Chute hotel.
An Outagamie County jury convicted 39-year-old Mastella Jackson of Appleton on Wednesday night of first-degree intentional homicide.
Defense attorneys argued that there lacked testimony identifying Jackson as the person who fatally stabbed Derrick Whitlow.
Back in July, the Wisconsin Supreme Court affirmed an appeals court decision to reinstate some physical evidence in the case.
In 2014, Outagamie County Judge Mark McGinnis ruled that police improperly questioned Jackson. USA Today Network-Wisconsin reports that McGinnis suppressed those statements and some physical evidence found based on those statements.
