SYRACUSE -- It was a difficult scene to fathom. The daughters of Stacey Castor, Bree and Ashley Wallace, asking a judge to throw the book at their own mother.
"As horrible as this makes me feel, mom, this is goodbye." Ashley Wallace told a packed courtroom, "I hate my mother for ruining so many people's lives. I don't know why she did it."
After Thursday's sentencing, Ashley and Bree talked with Jim Kenyon outside the courthouse. When asked what it was like to speak out in court the way she did, Ashley said, "It was hard but it was relieving in a way." Bree added, "It felt good for her to read it, it felt good for her to say it."
"I don't ever want to speak to her again."Ashley Wallace said. Asked about forgiveness, Ashley replied, "No I can try someday. I'm going to have to forgive. I don't have to talk to her to forgive her." "I don't know if I can her forgive her though" said Bree.
Throughout her sentencing Stacey Castor never showed a single emotion and did not even glance at her daughters. "That didn't bother me. This whole process, she hasn't had any feelings, but I made my feelings clear."
Kenyon asked Ashley if she cares what happens to her mother in prison. "No. I hope somebody hurts her in the way that she hurt me...I hope she never gets to have her freedom ever again. ... For some reason God kept me on this planet. I don't know what it is yet, but I'm sure I'll find out. I think part of it was to bring justice to David, my dad and myself."
Justice came in the form of a 51 and 1/3 years to life sentence for Stacey Castor. As she goes off to prison, attention will now be focused on the murder of Castor's first husband, Michael Wallace, in 2000. He too died of anti-freeze poisoning.
