A Texas woman was convicted this week of killing her diabetic husband in 2023 through neglect as he suffered from an insulin overdose.

A jury found Sarah Jean Hartsfield, 50, was found guilty of murder on Wednesday, KFDM reported.

Hartsfield was detained following observations of unusual circumstances by staff at Houston Methodist Hospital regarding Joseph Hartsfield’s death in January 2023, as reported by CrimeOnline.

Law&Crime shared that prosecutors presented evidence indicating Joseph Hartsfield experienced dangerously low blood sugar over several hours on January 7, 2023. Sarah Jean Hartsfield claimed she was asleep during this period, although her phone records showed she was active on various apps, and step-tracking data indicated she was moving around.

Additionally, the husband’s glucose monitor went off more than 100 times times, each time alerting the wife’s cell phone.

While prosecutors admitted they could not confirm that Sarah Jean Hartsfield herself administered an insulin overdose to her husband, testimony from witnesses suggested that such an event occurred.

The jury took less than an hour to convict. She faces life in prison when she is sentenced.

Joseph Hartsfield was the fifth husband of Sarah Jean Hartsfield, who had previously fatally shot a fiancé in Minnesota. In that case, she argued it was self-defense and did not face charges.
