Now that there is a trial, his 11 years will be extended, with all the extra charges, I would hope.:)
Great that judge has allowed Judy's bedside statement.
It will be powerful, nailing him, I would think.:D:D
 
I was thinking if his trial starts on 7/16 that's a Monday when trials usually start, not on a Friday, 7/6. So that one document must have been a "typo". I'll put the trial date to 7/16.

Edited to add: I just tried the link I posted re 7/6 trial date - "not found", so I guess they saw my comment about 2 different trial dates! LOL!
 
Man gets life in prison for ex-girlfriend’s burning death

"COLUMBUS, Ohio — An Ohio man who authorities say caused his ex-girlfriend’s death by setting her on fire has pleaded guilty to a charge of aggravated murder and avoided a possible death penalty.

Forty-two-year-old Michael Slager pleaded guilty Thursday in 33-year-old Judy Malinowski’s death after reaching a deal with prosecutors. He could have received the death penalty if convicted at trial.

The judge in Franklin County Common Pleas Court sentenced Slager to life in prison without the possibility of parole...."

Yippee.
Best news.:D
I would think, knowing the bedside statement was allowed, he knew GUILY, would be his best option.
 
Thank you YESorNO for the update. At least her family doesn't have to go thru a trial.

RIP Judy

There are abusers, there are killers, and then there are heinous monsters like Michael Slager, who on Aug. 2, 2015, set his girlfriend, 31-year-old Judy Malinowski, on fire.
The resident of Franklin County, Ohio suffered burns on more than 95 percent of her body and yet, astonishingly, survived.

nd it’s her story—and agency—that’s restored by The Fire That Took Her, director/producer Patricia E. Gillespie’s infuriating and heartbreaking documentary about Judy’s unthinkable ordeal, and the courage and strength she exhibited in trying to make a difference while she could.

IMHO I watched the HULU documentary about Judy Malinowski and her horrific death. I'm pretty tough and based on my career have seen a lot of very bad things. This is one of the saddest, horrific, and evil crimes I've seen. Judy was one of the strongest and most determined people I've ever seen. I had open heart surgery and was not able to take any pain medicine. It was beyond painful. However, what Judy went through was one of the saddest and most horrible pain that anyone could survive much less endure for 2 years. I'm not much for crying but I sobbed watching the documentary. This brave women testified to ensure that that hunk of meat that was her so-called boyfriend won't be walking on a beach in his lifetime. RIP Judy.
