Rather than leave the sentence to the judge, Armstrong chose to let the jury decide. The state asked them to start at 40 years. The defense offered no recommendation. Mo's brother Matthew testified that she was his closest confidant. Kaitlyn Cash — who sent Karen Wilson a photo of Mo that afternoon with the message 'your girl is in safe hands here in Austin' — took the stand and said she felt immense guilt for not protecting her friend [1] — Karen Wilson "When you shot Mariah in the heart, you shot me in my heart." 1:09:46 . Karen Wilson addressed Armstrong directly: 'When you shot Mariah in the heart, you shot me in my heart.' Armstrong's own father offered condolences to the Wilsons. Armstrong's sister Christine looked at her across the courtroom and called her 'not a bad person.' After three and a half hours, the jury returned: 90 years and a $10,000 fine. Kaitlyn Armstrong sat motionless. Her projected release date is July 3, 2112.
Kaitlyn Armstrong was sentenced to 90 years in prison and a $10,000 fine for the first-degree murder of Moriah Wilson, with parole eligibility not until 2052.
