The Texas prosecutors requested a minimum 40-year prison sentence for Kaitlin Armstrong, who was found guilty of murdering professional cyclist Anna Moriah Wilson. Armstrong could face life imprisonment as well. Her attorney, Rick Cofer, asked the jury to consider a sentence less than life, allowing for the possibility of parole. The prosecution accused Armstrong of killing Wilson in a jealous rage, and her family and friends expressed their grief after the verdict. Wilson’s mother and friend, Caitlin Cash, testified during the trial and shared their deep sorrow and regret. Armstrong’s sister and mother also demonstrated deep emotion following the verdict. Armstrong was found to have attempted to escape authorities after the murder, leading to separate charges.
