A Duluth woman was sentenced Monday to more than 10 years in prison for her role in providing a fatal dose of fentanyl to a Rice Lake man in 2017.
Joanne Rose Smith, 47, pleaded guilty in State District Court in February to a third-degree murder charge in the death of 33-year-old Samuel James O Leary.
Under the terms of a plea agreement with the St. Louis County Attorney s Office, Smith was sentenced to a guideline term of 125 months in prison. Judge David Johnson also imposed a concurrent term of 95 months for a second case, in which Smith admitted to selling heroin while the murder charge was pending.
Last week marked fourteen years since the unsolved killing of Ken Gorman, a hero in the marijuana-reform movement and it s hardly the only Mile High murder that has not yet led to an arrest. Indeed, it s incredibly rare for justice to be done on behalf of Denver victims of the ultimate crime, as well as their friends, family and loved ones, years or even decades after the fact.
Proof can be found on the portion of the Denver Police Department website devoted to cold-case homicides. The page includes murders dating back to 1970, more than fifty years ago. Of the 767 listed, only nineteen are designated as solved, while 748 are categorized as unsolved. An investigation is typically dubbed a cold case if it remains unsolved for three years or more.

Everyone who comes for a vaccine needs an appointment and they must be part of the group currently designated by the state to get the vaccine. The clinic is seeing a lot of health care workers who are not affiliated with large chains.
The clinic is now vaccinating people in Phase 1A and the first tier of Phase 1B.
