A Muslim woman pleaded guilty Friday to third-degree murder for killing her bigamist husband in August, hours before he was to leave for Morocco to visit his new, second wife.
Myra Morton, 48, was upset about the marriage and her husband’s plans to have children with the younger woman, authorities say. She admitted shooting her husband Jereleigh Morton, 47, twice in the head while he slept, and initially blamed an intruder.
She faces from five to 20 years in prison when she is sentenced, defense lawyer Brian McMonagle said.
