A Texas woman was sentenced to 27 years in prison after being found guilty of her husband's death on Wednesday. Sandra Melgar, 57, was charged with first-degree murder for killing her husband Jaime Meglar in 2012 before tying herself to look like a trespassing at her Houston home.

After a trial that lasted three weeks, the jury determined that Meglar murdered her husband in order to benefit from the life insurance of nidad would reject her.

On December 23, 2012, friends and family came to the Meglar home to help them prepare for what would be their 32nd anniversary celebration. When they arrived at the scene, they found Sandra and Jaime tied inside the closet of the couple's bedroom.

During the trial, the jury saw a reconstruction video of how Sandra was able, according to the prosecutor, to tie her hands and ankles behind her back and then lock herself in a closet.

According to People's information, Mac Secrest, Sandra's defense attorney insisted that she had nothing to do with her husband's death, nor did she see the intruders or intruders who attacked them. "There is no physical evidence to point to her at all," said Secrest, who accused investigators of not looking for other possible toilets. "No broken nails, no problems with the hands, no bruises on the hands."

The prosecutor, Colleen Barnett for her part, maintained that Sandra cleaned the crime scene after murdering Jaime, and as one of the evidence pointed to a cloudy nail on her right hand, which was apparently caused by cleaners and bleach and in her speech He even described what Sandra supposedly thought at the time. "If I kill him, then I am not ostracized - I have to hang out with my friends - and so I get the money," he added. “I want to thank the members of the jury for their patience and attention during this long and difficult case. Jaime Melgar was a wonderful man for everyone.”
