Pills on the chest
It was on October 3, 2018 that Lynn Hernan was found dead in her apartment in Pewaukee, Wisconsin.
She was partially lying in a chair, and had crushed pills on her chest.
It was Jessy Kurczewski who called the emergency services and claimed that her 61-year-old friend had committed suicide, reports the news agency AP.

– I would myself
A forensic examination showed that Hernan had several different drugs in her body when she died – including tetrahydrozoline.
This is a substance that is found, among other things, in Visine, which are popular eye drops in the USA.
Flight interrupted by berserk horse
The Waukesha County Coroner concluded that Lynn Hernan was poisoned by tetrahydrozoline and died.
Afterwards, Kurczewski admitted that she had given Hernan a water bottle containing six bottles of Visine – because, according to her, her friend wanted it.

NOK 3.1 million disappeared
In court, Kurczewski’s defense lawyer, Donna Kuchler, argued that Hernan died as a result of mixing a number of drugs – and not just tetrahydrozoline.
During the investigation, it was discovered that a total of NOK 3.1 million had been drained from Lynn Hernan’s accounts.
It turned out that all the money had gone to Jessy Kurczewski.

Not believed
Defense lawyer Kulcher justified the money transfers by saying that Hernan kept giving money to her friend because she liked to do it.
– She was happy to give money to Jessy. Jessy was like her daughter, the defense attorney said in court.
The jury did not believe this.
Rages after this: – Pissed off
After debating the question of guilt for a total of twelve hours, they concluded that Jessy Kurczewski is guilty of both murder and fraud.
The sentencing will take place on 7 December, but the murder verdict means that, according to AP, Jessy Kurczewski will be sentenced to life in prison.
She also risks being sentenced to five years in prison for the fraud.
Her defense attorneys have not yet commented on the verdict in the US media.
