Sarah Hartsfield, the Chambers County woman accused of murder after her fifth husband died, is sharing her first public words since her arrest in February.
In messages only to KPRC 2, Hartsfield, who has pleaded not guilty, said she filed paperwork to fire her court-appointed attorney and says prosecutors would “almost be crazy to proceed” with her case.
The Harris County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled his cause of death “complications of toxic effects of insulin.” The manner, which could be homicide, suicide, or natural causes, was left undetermined.Sarah Hartsfield murder case: Husband died of insulin complications, medical examiner rules “You can’t fire that court appointed lawyer because you think he or she is laying down on the job,” KPRC 2 Legal Analyst Brian Wice said. That’s unless a defendant can hire their own attorney or another one takes on the case pro-bono.“The only entity that has the final say so about removing court appointed counsel is the judge,” Wice said.
Her bond, initially set at $5 million, was lowered by Chambers County Judge Chap Cain on March 1 by $500,000. Still, Wice calls the new $4.5 million bond “excessive.” “It’s about time I quit being vilified, by his family, and by the public. I never deserved how I was treated...and Joe, our relationship, our marriage - our story ended way too soon and not by any wrong doing,” she wrote in the statement.
