UPDATE: CLICK HERE TO SEE STORY AND PHOTOS FROM THE SENTENCING
Stacey Pagli (left) will be sentenced to 20 years in prison tomorrow, April 5, for killing her 18-year-old daughter during an argument in the family’s Manhattanville College apartment last year.
Pagli, 39, was allowed to plead guilty last month to first-degree manslaughter, after psychiatrists for the prosecution and the defense concluded she was under an “extreme emotional disturbance” when she strangled Marissa Pagli on the Purchase campus.
She originally was charged with second-degeree murder.
Pagli’s lawyer has said she is currently taking medication for depression. Her family history includes mental illness and several suicides.
Pagli attempted suicide after killing her daughter, and had at least one suicide attempt at the Westchester County jail, where she has been held since her arrest.
She will be eligible for parole in 2028, when her remaining daughter will be in her early 20s.
