"This was a very complicated case," Greene County District Attorney Joseph Stanzione wrote in a news release. "Much evidence was presented to the jury by both the prosecution and the defense."
On Nov. 27, 2021, police responded to 68-year-old Scott Myers's apartment in Catskill, where Myers was found suffering from a stab wound. Weiser, who was 32 at the time, was arrested and accused of stabbing Myers on the left side of his neck, severing his carotid artery.In December 2021, a Grand Jury voted an indictment against Weiser, charging her with second-degree murder and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
Stanzione wrote in the Jun. 28 press release that the Jury worked through "each of the elements of the crime" and "recognized that the prosecution not only proved the charge of murder beyond a reasonable doubt," but also disproved "beyond a reasonable doubt" each of the defenses the defense counsel provided.
"This jury left no stone unturned before unanimously concluding that Carrie Weiser did, in fact, murder Scott Myers, Stanzione wrote.
