MI Woman Pleads Guilty To Stabbing Husband 14 Times, Killing Him

LAKE COUNTY, MI — A northern Michigan woman pleaded guilty Monday to stabbing her husband 14 times, killing him, according to the Michigan Attorney General's Office.

Betsy McIntyre, 69, of Irons, will be sentenced to no less than 20 years in prison and no more than 40 years in prison, as part of the plea agreement for second-degree murder.

McIntyre was initially charged with first-degree murder, which carries a life sentence without parole. A sentencing date has not yet been set.

On May 11, prosecutors said McIntyre stabbed her husband 14 times, resulting in his death.

"This conviction ensures justice is served for the victim and his loved ones," Attorney General Dana Nessel said in a statement. "My office remains committed to supporting Lake County during this transition and ensuring violent offenders are held accountable."
