Dorego Family Issues Statement on Sentence for Convicted Murderer

Following the announcement that Donald Greenslit, 53, had been sentenced to life in prison for murdering Stacie Dorego, her sister, Jami Ouellette, issued a written statement on May 15.

"While we feel that true justice cannot be served as long as Greenslit lives or worse, could be paroled, we recognize the limits of the system in RI. Our family would like to thank Judge McGuirl, who has been compassionate, intelligent and insightful, for imposing the maximum sentence allowable," wrote Ouelette. "We are also incredibly thankful to the prosecutors, Daniel Guglielmo and Sara Tindall-Woodman for their tireless, effective fight for justice, as well as the Attorney General's office family liaisons, for the overwhelming support for our family.

"And to the Johnston Firefighters and Police, you are our heroes.

"So many individuals and organizations have supported us throughout this long and difficult process and we hope to thank them all — including Tara from the Institute for the Study and Practice of Nonviolence and the staff at Family Services. 

"They will all be in our hearts and the hearts of Lily and Jake forever.

"Hopefully now our family can begin to heal and move on."
