The mistress of Houston lawyer Jeffrey Stern was given a 20 year prison sentence today in exchange for pleading guilty to three attempts to kill her lover's wife.
The judge agreed to the deal despite the objections of Yvonne Stern, the woman who was shot in the stomach in the final effort to have her killed.
Michelle Gaiser, 39, pleaded guilty to solicitation of capital murder for the 2010 attempts to kill Yvonne Stern, 54. Gaiser claimed to have plotted the murders with Jeffrey Stern, but earlier this week prosecutors dropped all charges against Jeffrey Stern because Gaiser's claims could not be corroborated.
Yvonne Stern, who has since reconciled with her husband, took the stand today, urging the judge to not accept the deal and stating that Gaiser should be sentenced to 40 years in prison for the three attempts on her life.
"It is near impossible for me to put into words the pain and suffering this animal has caused me and my family," Yvette Stern said in court Friday. "I have suffered for two years due to this animal and remain scarred for life.
"It is clear that this monster is very unstable and she should spend the rest of her existence behind bars where she cannot attempt to kill anyone else," she said.

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said.

Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
