Wife gets 40-year prison term for antifreeze killing
"A 47-year-old Smyrna woman will spend 40 years behind bars for killing her husband by spiking his steroid bottles with antifreeze. Jamie L. Baker was sentenced Thursday morning in front of nearly 50 of her husband's family members and friends in Kent County Superior Court, according to Deputy Attorney General Jason Cohee. She was ordered to serve the prison time, followed by six months of either home confinement or work release and two years of probation.
Baker's 42-year-old husband, James D. Baker II, was found dead Sept. 16, 2013, on the bedroom floor of their home by his wife, police said. An autopsy found that his kidneys contained ethylene glycol, a chemical found in antifreeze that can crystallize in the kidneys and eventually kill a person if taken in small dosages.
"There was ample time in those three months to get him help," Cohee said. "Even the day before he died, when he was very sick, the defendant would not call 911 when prompted by their daughter. She chose to let him die."
Her husband James D. Baker III likely experienced a painful death following his AAS injections after his kidneys failed. Victims of antifreeze poisoning usually suffer from severe diarrhea and vomiting prior to their deaths.
Almost a year after his death, Jamie Baker admitted to police in an interview that she had used a hypodermic syringe to extract antifreeze from a container stored in the garage and injected several bottles of steroids with the antifreeze, police said."
