US silicone death: Briton Donna Francis sentenced to year in jail
14 November 2019
A British woman convicted of killing a US patient by giving her botched buttock-enhancement injections has been sentenced to a year in New York jail.
Donna Francis had pleaded guilty to criminally negligent homicide for the 2015 death of Kelly Mayhew after she was extradited from the UK in August.
Francis was given the maximum sentence allowed in the extradition agreement.
"The phrase 'getting away with murder' certainly applies to you," New York Judge Kenneth Holder said on Thursday.
"If you have a conscience, this is going to haunt you much longer than the one-year sentence you're going to serve."
