The woman, who agreed to testify against her husband at his May 9 trial, has been in jail since she was accused of decapitating Jonathan Amerault, 25, in September 2020. She also was accused of wrapping his body in a tarp and dragging it to a remote area and cleaning Amerault’s car. The woman, who had no prior criminal record, pleaded guilty last year to three counts of falsifying evidence in a plea agreement. She was sentenced to 3 1/2 to seven years in prison, with two years suspended and credit given for time served.
Amerault’s parents opposed parole, urging the board to keep her in custody until after she has testified.
