CHARDON — A 41-year-old transgender woman pleaded guilty on Thursday to reckless homicide for exercising her 73-year-old husband to death.Christine Newton-John faces up to five years in prison when she is sentenced. A date for the sentencing has not been set.
Her husband, James Mason, suffered a heart attack on June 2 after being forced to swim for a long period of time in the pool at the Middlefield Village apartment complex where they lived.
Middlefield Police Chief Joseph Stehlik said it was the strangest case he has ever investigated.
"The man was exercised to death," he said. "I'm glad it's over."
Newton-John was born a boy and named John Vallandingham. More at The Plain Dealer.
Some of us think being dead in this situation is the the preferred disposition.
GOOGLE: "wkyc: middlefield: transgender woman admits to causing husband's heart attack" ...and read the most detailed account of the bizarre Chris Newton-John/James Mason torture/murder, with lots of INFO which was omitted in almost every media story...it may fill in alot of the blanks and help to answer many questions. The MOTIVE was to $UE THE APARTMENT COMPLEX FOR NEGLEGENCE (NO lifeguard), but it backfired and the $INI$TER $CHEME was foiled when the videotape revealed that it was NO ACCIDENT, but instead, TORTURE/MURDER! GOOGLE: "writing divas, christine newton-john" to read my comments on CNJ's character; I knew her when she was a he (1980-1993), born as John Leslie Vallandingham.
