Kay Morrison, who killed her husband in 2022, now in hospice

Kay Morrison, 84, confessed to killing her husband, Kenneth Morrison, in January 2022 and pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in December 2024. The court has delayed her sentencing due to significant health issues, leading to her admission to hospice care in Lewiston. Kay and her daughter, Kimberly Morrison, drugged, suffocated, and disposed of Kenneth's body, raising serious legal concerns. The plea deal offers a potential 3-to-10-year prison sentence, but the judge can reject it. Her defense attorney sought six additional months to present mitigating factors, but Kay's health has deteriorated rapidly.

If she dies before sentencing, the court will close the case without further proceedings. Kimberly, 57, is currently serving a 6-to-18-year sentence for her role in the crime. This situation highlights the complexities of legal proceedings intertwined with health crises.
