WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- A woman who stabbed her husband during a game in which he was handcuffed and blindfolded -- then stabbed him again after driving him to a hospital -- was convicted Thursday of attempted murder.
Sheila Davalloo, 34, of Pleasantville, could be sentenced to up to 25 years in prison.
Her non-jury trial ended when state Supreme Court Justice Thomas Dickerson pronounced her guilty of assault and criminal possession of a weapon as well as attempted murder.
Davalloo's lawyer, Theodore Brundage, had asserted in Wednesday's closing argument that she was emotionally troubled and did not realize what she was doing. He said there was no evidence she intended to hurt her husband, Paul Christos.
