Ontario woman pleads guilty, sentenced to 15 years
cbc.ca —
A woman in Ontario has been sentenced to 15 years for manslaughter in the death of her ex-husband, Caleb Harrison. However, she will only serve one day in jail due to time already served. Melissa Merritt pleaded guilty just before her third murder trial was set to begin. She had previously faced multiple trials related to the deaths of her ex-husband and his family members. Merritt had been in custody for 10 years due to earlier charges. She was found not guilty of killing her former mother-in-law and had her conviction for Caleb's murder overturned, leading to the current plea deal.
