State of Wisconsin –vs- Kriscilla K. McHenry
Kriscilla K. McHenry, 31, Milwaukee was sentenced today in Dodge County Circuit Court to 20 years in prison, 20 years of extended supervision and ordered to pay $14,549 in restitution following her July conviction of second degree intentional homicide.
McHenry was found guilty of stabbing Michael J. Soeller 38 times in his motel room in Randolph, Wisconsin in August, 2014. Soeller was pronounced dead at the scene.
During sentencing, Dodge County District Attorney Kurt F. Klomberg characterized McHenry as “highly manipulative, dishonest, lacking of remorse and of generally poor character. The defendant took a man’s life – she deserves to lose a long portion of hers.”
Judge Brian Pfitzinger told the courtroom full of Soeller’s family and friends that he admired the remarkable courage and strength that they have shown through a very long and difficult process.
Klomberg said after the sentencing, “I am satisfied with the sentence as I believe it recognizes the life the defendant took, protects the public and provides the justice the victim’s family sought. This victim’s family is tight knit and each member is hard working, loving and honest. They are the very best our community have to offer and I am humbled to have served them through this tragedy
