    Former elementary school teacher Virginia Vertetis was sentenced Tuesday to 30 years in prison for murdering her ex-beau, Patrick Gilhuley, at her Mount Olive home, by a judge who opined that Vertetis was remorseless but also affected by depression, anxiety and fears of abandonment. A Morris County jury on April 3 had rejected Vertetis's trial claim of fatally shooting Gilhuley in self-defense on March 3, 2014 at her home on Apollo Way and found her guilty of murder and possession of a weapon - the first service weapon the retired victim had as a New York City police officer - ...

    Former teacher Virginia Vertetis offered 20-year plea deal for 2014 killing before new trial

    The Morris County Prosecutor's Office has offered a plea deal to former Wharton elementary school teacher Virginia Vertetis, charged with fatally shooting her ex-boyfriend in 2014. Vertetis was found guilty of murder in 2017 but appealed the decision and the appellate court granted her a new trial in March 2020, ruling the jury had been improperly instructed on the state's self-defense law. She appeared virtually before Judge Stephen Taylor on Tuesday where Assistant Prosecutor Christopher Schellhorn said he had spoken with Vertetis' attorney about the potential plea deal. Schellhorn said if Vertetis pleads guilty to first-degree aggravated manslaughter, they would ...
