Today, one week after being convicted of murder her 32 year-old common-law husband, 38 year-old Lavern "Anti-Christ" Longsworth is at prison tonight, where she will serve a life sentence.
In the mitigation hearing today, Longsworth's 18 year-old daughter, Kyla Reynolds, spoke on her behalf to the court. In that statement, she recounted to the court that she loves her mother, no matter what she had done.
She also apologized publicly to White's family, and asked the court, to quote: "please find it in your heart to forgive her."
Justice Lucas then handed her a life sentence and Longsworth was then escorted from court. The sentence will be recorded as taking effect from December 2010 when she was first arrested.
Longsworth's trial has now set a precedent because it was the first time that electronic evidence was used to secure a conviction for murder.
She becomes the 3rd woman in 18 months to be convicted and sentenced to life.
