Brian Kozlowski, 46, faces 60 weekend days behind bars and 5 years of trial for poisoning his now ex-wife. Macomb County Prosecutor Eric Smith calls a sentence, handed down Thursday, “a slap in a face.”
“You shouldn’t be means to dedicate a 15-year transgression by poisoning someone and have to usually offer weekends. It’s unimaginable to me,” Smith said.
In court, Kozlowski’s ex-wife, who is not being identified, recounted her calamity for late visiting Judge Anthony Viviano.
“Once Brian satisfied he’d mislaid me and there was no removing me to stay in this diseased marriage, his idea was to discharge me,” she pronounced in court.
Two months after she filed for divorce, in Jul 2018, Kozlowski began putting sleeping pills into his wife’s coffee. She started feeling nauseous, sleepy and had confused vision. She says one day she roughly crashed into a wall while pushing since she was so drowsy.
The plant set adult notice cameras to endorse her suspicions that a coffee Kozlowski done for her was what had her feeling sick.
Prosecutors contend a footage suggested Kozlowski poured diphenhydramine, an antihistamine that is also used to provide insomnia, into his then-wife’s morning coffee on mixed occasions, intentionally poisoning her.
“He put 8 sleeping pills into that coffee pot each singular day for weeks. An adult endorsed dosage, according to a package, is one. we felt a terrible indifference in a air, as if we was being wanted by a dangerous predator, yet in this nightmare, a predator was Brian,” pronounced a plant in court.
After saying a video footage, a plant called her divorce profession and immediately changed out of a couple’s home. She saved a coffee for evidence.
In court, Kozlowski’s ex-wife asked for a think to be condemned to a fullest border of a law.
“I trust this was not a box of poisoning. we trust this was attempted murder. Brian was perplexing to kill me to keep his gentle life from slipping away,” she said.
However, yet Viviano pronounced he was changed by a victim’s statements, he remarkable that Kozlowski had shown “a clarity of remorse” by going underneath psychiatric care. The think also apologized in court.
“He has taken stairs to take caring of a conditions that clearly was out of hand,” Viviano said.
Smith says he is angry by a judge’s decision, and his appellate dialect is already operative on an appeal.
“It roughly appears as yet a decider is some-more endangered about a defendant’s leisure and a defendant’s practice than about a reserve and confidence of a victim, and that’s something that we can't mount for,” Smith said.
Prosecutors wrote in a recover before to sentencing that a rapist discipline for a charged offense prove a suspect contingency do a smallest of 19 to 38 months in prison.
