It looks like she only got probation
An Arizona woman who was charged with trying to kill her husband by poisoning his coffee daily for months has reportedly avoided jail time and been ordered to spend three years on probation.
Melody Feliciano Johnson received her punishment this week after striking a plea deal with prosecutors that allowed her to plead guilty in April to two counts of adding a poison or harmful substance to food or drink, according to the Arizona news website azfamily.com.
She had initially been charged with attempted murder, a more serious felony. The reduced charges left her facing up to two years in prison on each count. But state court judge Javier Chon-Lopez opted for probation, ordering her to undergo a mental health evaluation and requiring her to abstain from contacting her estranged husband unless it is in a legal context, such as their pending divorce, as azfamily.com noted.
