Donatila O'Mahony- Plot to Steal Home Ends in Murder

 


Geeeeeeeez, this really reminds me of Pam Huff. Have you seen The Thing About Pam? It's on Peacock.

Donatila O'Mahony, on Long Island, was convicted of murder and forgery charges after she shot and killed Lee Pedersen inside his Aquebogue home in 2020.

O'Mahony forged Pedersen's will in an attempt to claim ownership of the home.

The judge said before the sentencing that he could not imagine a more "evil plot."

A 43-year-old Long Island woman convicted in the “cold-blooded” execution murder of a 69-year-old homeowner to forge his will and start living on the property will spend a quarter century to the remainder of her life in her new prison home.


“Prior to the murder, in 2019, O’Mahony asked a friend in New Jersey to purchase a Sig Sauer 9mm handgun, which she would later use to kill Pedersen. On the night of the murder, she borrowed that same friend’s car, which was captured on video surveillance in the area of Pedersen’s home,” prosecutors said in a press release describing the facts of the case. “That car was also captured on video surveillance returning to O’Mahony’s home several hours after the murder.”


“When O’Mahony later returned to her own home, she asked her friend from New Jersey to dispose of several items, including the Sig Sauer 9mm handgun he had purchased for her, ammunition, and clothes. O’Mahony’s friend destroyed the handgun and disposed of the clothes, but kept the plastic bag of ammunition in his home in New Jersey. The bag of ammunition was subsequently recovered by police and swabbed for DNA,” prosecutors said. “The Suffolk County Crime Laboratory then conducted a forensic analysis which revealed the presence of both O’Mahony’s and Pedersen’s DNA on the swabs.”.

The friend was 76-year-old George C. Woodworth, who testified for the prosecution and admitted to providing the murder weapon and to helping get rid of it, along with other evidence. Woodworth also admitted to letting O’Mahony use his car.

Woodworth’s sentencing is scheduled for April 10, having pleaded guilty plea to a criminal solicitation charge in the case.

Here's how utterly stupid O’Mahony’s is: her attempt to forge Pedersen’s will and get away with it was a failure, as the victim’s real will said nothing about the defendant being entitled to the man’s home upon his death. 

“This was a cold-blooded killing fueled by greed, treachery, and the complete disregard for Lee Pedersen’s life, all in order to steal the victim’s home,” DA Tierney said in a statement. “The only new home this defendant will be living in as a result of her actions, is prison.”

Jurors ultimately convicted Mahoney of the charges on Jan. 4, and O’Mahony was sentenced to serve 25 years to life in prison Thursday. Prosecutors said must also serve a consecutive sentence of 2 1/3 years to 7 years for forging the will and attempted grand larceny.

Darlie Routier Texas

I was contacted by a penpal of Darlie Routier's who gave me some of the most recent advances in her case to share with you all. I began writing to Darlie in December of 2005 and she is one woman whom I will never understand how she got behind bars. Really. You know what else? With all the information ALREADY out there about this case, in addition to the newly discovered info, I think if you can't see this poor woman's innocence, you may just be an asshole. So many legal flubs, so much question and police innuendo that turned out to be nothing. So many fingers pointed and road blocks thrown up, I am surprised this case isn't used in other countries to point to the clusterfuck we call a justice system.  I believe Darlie could have been released ages ago if the state had done the necessary DNA testing. Sadly, Texas has tried to stop it in every unconstitutional way they could pull out of a bull's ass. BUT- there is hope on the horizon. This from Camp Darlie ...

The Most Beautiful Girls to Ever Kill Their Own Mother

As human beings, we have trouble fathoming the idea of a young girl committing so atrocious a crime as murder. Much less, the murder of her own mother. The concept becomes even more inconceivable when it pertains to a beautiful young woman beautiful young woman with a loving family and the world at her fingertips. These girls aren't all women in prison now. Some have been released and disappeared into the mainstream. Scary, huh?  Nakisha Waddell     At age 14, Nakisha Waddell stabbed her mother, Vaughne Thomas, 43 times in their Virginia home. In court, she said she was tired of the years of fighting and just exploded. Her 15-year-old friend, Annie Belcher, helped her dig a grave in the backyard. The pair poured alcohol and nail polish remover on the dead woman and tried to ignite her to no avail.  They eventually mixed a crude concrete mixture and poured it on top of her and finished by covering her with sticks, leaves, and yard debris. She gives n...

Brenda Andrew Execution date

     Brenda Andrew is the only woman on Oklahoma death row. She is there for the murder of her husband by her and her boyfriend James Pavatt.      Brenda does not answer letters. It seems she may still have a bit of that pretentious attitude left over from her days as a respected deacons wife. Those days are over, hun.      There is no scheduled execution date for Brenda yet. Oklahoma lists its dates of execution for the prison she is in here .      Every time I read about this case I am utterly amazed at how stupid these two people were. She may as well have advertised their guilt on a billboard in front of the house. Both Andrew's and Pavatt's appeal were systematically denied without comment in 2008. The little Scorned episode "The Sunday School Killers" at the top of this post is about Brenda and James and its only $1.99 so its worth the money. Appearance White Female; 5 ft. 3 in. tall; 110 pounds; Bro...
