  1. Even if the title wasn't "Black Widow", the conclusion that it was the wife was extremely obvious from the beginning. This woman has got to be one of the biggest idiots I've ever seen in my life, which is a good thing for society. How the hell did she ever get away with the first one? Apparently no one looked in to the first death whatsoever. It's comical that these type of narcissistic idiots think the world of themselves, but are extremely stupid when it comes down to reality. She apparently didn't even know that it's "antifreeze", and not "antifree". Glad she got nailed for this shit.

  2. Arrest and trial

    For two years, investigators had collected evidence against Castor for the deaths of her husbands. In 2007, she was arrested for second degree murder in David's death and for attempting to murder Ashley and frame her for the murders of David and Wallace.[8][11]

    Prosecutors argued that the computer-generated note where Ashley "confesses" to killing Wallace and David had actually been written by Castor.[2][8] Ashley was 11 at the time of her father Wallace's death.[2][3] When brought on the stand, she testified that she did not murder either her father or her stepfather nor did she write the suicide note.[2][12]

    Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick and Chief Assistant District Attorney Christine Garvey[13] argued that David Castor's "suicide" had never made sense given the lack of his fingerprints on the glass or container tainted with ethylene glycol, a toxic substance found in antifreeze, and the turkey baster found in the kitchen garbage bearing both ethylene glycol and his DNA.[2][8] They felt that this suggested he was force-fed antifreeze.[2][8] Given evidence of the evolution of David Castor's illness, they concluded that Castor had for four days fed her husband antifreeze through the baster before trying to make it look like a suicide.[14] She had said that her husband got the idea to kill himself with antifreeze while both were watching a news report about Lynn Turner, who murdered two past lovers by using the poison.[2]

    The prosecutors presented evidence showing how antifreeze poisoning can be identified from the growth of calcium oxalate crystals in the kidneys, and that this was seen with examination of Wallace and David's bodies as well.[2] In addition, they noted money as one of the main reasons Castor murdered her husbands. She had murdered her husbands partly to collect on their life insurance and estates,[15] and had changed David's will to exclude his son by a previous marriage from the money left to him by David.[2]

    "In 2005, people started to put it together," Cayuga County Sheriff Dave Gould said. "If Mr. Wallace had been cremated, or if Mr. Castor had not died, we would never have known we had a homicide."[8]

    If there is a ceiling in terms of evil, she (Castor) is at the ceiling.[14]

    — District Attorney William Fitzpatrick

    Having searched Castor's computer, prosecutors had found several drafts of the suicide note Ashley was accused of writing. Forensic investigators found that based on the timestamps, it had been written while Ashley was in school, proving she couldn't have been its author.[2] They argued that the "suicide attempt" had actually been a planned-out murder attempt by Castor against Ashley.[2] On the stand, Ashley retold how her mother had convinced her to drink the two nights before she almost died. She repeated that she only drank the "nasty-tasting" beverage because she trusted Castor.[2] She maintained her innocence of the two murders and the writing of the note.[2]

    Castor's defense team—attorneys Charles Keller and Todd Smith[13]—was set on creating reasonable doubt in the jury's minds about Castor having committed the murders.[2] They wanted to "poke holes" in Ashley's version of what happened and prove that she could have been capable of murder at age 11.[2] They noted Ashley's father, Wallace, showing favoritism toward his younger daughter rather than Ashley and cited jealousy as a possible motive for Ashley having murdered at such a young age.[2] For her stepfather, they noted his and Ashley's tumultuous relationship and how they did not get along with each other.[2] Castor's mother believed her granddaughter Ashley to be guilty.[2] In a final attempt to convince the jury that she was not guilty, Castor took the stand.[2]

    On cross examination, Fitzpatrick pointed out what he felt were flaws in Castor's version of that night. She maintained that it was Ashley who murdered Wallace and David, though she would not speculate about motives beyond implying that her daughter might be mentally ill.[16] Fitzpatrick pointed out that Ashley's mother had never sought therapy for her and that at 21 Ashley exhibited no sign of mental illness.[16]

    Fitzpatrick asserted that Castor's behavior during David Castor's and Ashley's illnesses made no sense, given the years she had worked for a paramedics company.[16] She did not seek care for Ashley for 17 hours and indicated that David Castor, who was staggering and vomiting and unable to stand, "looked OK".[2][16] Likewise, he questioned how a woman who had lost two husbands to poisoning would not seek help for a daughter in Ashley's state.[16] Fitzpatrick frequently shouted at Castor, inspiring Castor's defense attorney Charles Keller to frequently object and even to request a mistrial.[16]

    Prosecutors brought up another piece of "damaging evidence" against Castor when they cited having heard "typing sounds" while Castor was on the phone.[2] During one of the wiretapped recordings presented, "typing sounds" can be heard while Castor talks to a friend, though Castor denied memory of using the computer that day.[16] Prosecutors argued the "typing sounds" were those of one of the several drafts Castor had written of the suicide note.[2] Ashley had already testified to having witnessed her mother working on the computer on something she had hidden to prevent Ashley's seeing it.[12] Fitzpatrick claimed this was the day Castor wrote the note, which had Castor's fingerprints but not Ashley's, to frame her daughter.[2][12] He told the jury about the word antifreeze being written as "anti-free" in four places within the note and noted that Castor had also said "anti-free" during an interview.[2][16] Castor said she had cut herself off while saying "antifreeze" because she had intended to say something else.[16]

    Castor's defense team presented a pharmaceutical expert in an attempt to cast doubt on the prosecution’s claim that Castor had drugged Ashley 17 hours prior to being taken to the hospital.[17] "Professor Francis Gengo testified that after analyzing the traces of drugs and alcohol found in blood drawn from Ashley at the hospital, Ashley would have had to ingest the alcohol, Ritalin, and several other drugs just several hours before she was hospitalized."[17]

    On February 5, 2009, Castor was found guilty of second degree murder in the poisoning death of David and of attempted second degree murder for overdosing her daughter Ashley with drugs and vodka.[14] With a "jam-packed" courtroom, most were focused on Castor. She, however, had her eyes closed as the verdicts were read.[18] Her lead defense counsel, Keller, announced that Castor would appeal the verdict, including challenging the inclusion of evidence regarding the death of her first husband, for which Castor had not been charged.[14]

    On March 5, 2009, at Castor's sentencing, Chief Assistant District Attorney Christine Garvey asked Fahey to impose the maximum consecutive sentences because of the brutality of David's death.[19] Further, she criticized how Castor had "partied in her backyard with friends like nothing was happening" as Ashley was comatose in her room.[19] "She is cold, calculating and without any emotion for what she has done," she stated.[19] "Human life is sacred. Stacey Castor places no value on human life, not even her own flesh and blood. To Stacey Castor, human beings are disposable."[19]

    David's son, whom Castor had cheated out of his will, pleaded with Judge Fahey for Castor to be severely punished. "Your honor, [Castor] is a monster and a threat to society," he said.[19] "She has created so much pain and death with this, creating multiples of pain and death, in the families of those she has hurt."[19]

    Judge Fahey told Castor that he had never seen a parent attempt to murder their child in order to set their child up for a crime they themselves committed and declared Castor "in a class all by [her]self".[15] He sentenced her to the maximum of 25 years to life for the murder of David Castor, and to another 25 years for the attempt to kill Ashley.[15][20] For forging David's will, he ordered Castor to serve an additional 1​1⁄3 to four years in prison.[15]

    The trial had lasted for four weeks.[19] An emotional Ashley told the judge she hated her mother "for ruining so many people's lives" but still loved her for the bond she originally had with her.[2][15][19]

    I never knew what hate was until now. Even though I do hate her, I still love her at the same time. That bothers me, it is so confusing. How can you hate someone and love them at the same time? I just wish that she would say sorry for everything she did, including all the lies. As horrible as it makes me feel, this is goodbye mom. As hard as you tried, I survived and I will survive because now I'm surrounded by people that love me. I'm going to do good things in this world despite making me in every sense of the word an orphan.[21]

    — Ashley Wallace

    Fitzpatrick said that under New York sentencing guidelines, Castor would have to serve just over 51 years before she became eligible for parole—at her age, effectively a life sentence.[15]

    Death

    Castor was found dead in her cell on the morning of June 11, 2016.[28] It was not immediately apparent how she died and the manner of her death was listed as undetermined.[29] It was later determined by the D.A.'s office that Castor died of a heart attack, with no evidence of suicide or foul play

  3. For everyone asking about the end after, she put pills in the alcohol to try and kill her daughter then wrote a fake suicide note from her daughter claiming that her daughter killed both husbands then herself and she was convicted for the murder of her 2nd husband and attempted murder of her daughter

  4. If anyone's curious she was found guilty and sentence to more than 50 years but still insisted she was innocent. They found draft copies of the suicide letter in her computer along with her fingerprints all over the printed copy and no traces of Ashley's. Most suicide notes are usually handwritten and expresses remorse whereas her mostly focus on shifting blame onto Ashley.

    Also Ashley was only 11 years old when her father died, and they found it hard to believe that she would have been capable of coming up with anti-freeze to commit murder. Stacey claimed that she loves her daughter and would die for her but throughout the interview she maintained that Ashley was the killer of her two husbands and talked about how it's not unusual for children to kill.

    Stacey was found dead in her jail cell from a heart attack in 2016.

  5. I think the mum and daughter seem in on it together. 🙄😒

    I theorise, Mum thinks her daughter is too unpredictable because she freaks out and tries to poison her too.

  6. This creepy woman Stacey Castor is now deceased – google Stacey Ruth Castor and check Wikipaedia… – 51 yrs was the sentence. Why did she kill? It was for insurance money! UGH

  7. Do the authorities not need the consent of next of kin to exhume a body, or at least notify them. Quite bad that his daughter had to go to the cemetery to find her father's body missing.

  8. She died in prison. She was setting up her own daughter for the murders and her attempt at staging her daughter's suicide. Thanks to her sister, she was found in time. ABC, You stink!!

  9. So I watched the rest of it and wow, it was crazy. She tried to kill her oldest daughter and frame it as a suicide with a confession in the fake note that it was her daughter who had killed her husbands and not her. Her daughter survived, she was found guilty, and died in prison at like 48 of natural causes.
