Overview
- Greene County Judge Charles Tailleur imposed a sentence below the 25‑to‑life maximum, making Carrie Weiser eligible for parole after 20 years.
- Weiser was convicted of second-degree murder on June 27, 2024, after jurors initially reported they were deadlocked during three days of deliberations.
- Prosecutors presented extensive evidence, including hours of security-camera recordings from Scott Myers’ home that were later unlocked and played in court.
- The defense argued Weiser acted in self-defense during an attempted rape, a claim the jury rejected as unsupported by the evidence.
- A forensic psychologist testified that Weiser has paranoid personality disorder, and prosecutors also highlighted testimony from a man who said Weiser previously stabbed him during a sexual encounter.
