MIDDLEFIELD, Ohio A transgender woman who caused her elderly husband's death by strenuously exercising him in a swimming pool was sentenced to four years in prison.
Forty-one-year-old Chris Mason had pleaded guilty to reckless homicide in the death of 73-year-old James M. Mason, who had heart problems.
She was dressed casually in a black top and slacks and sat calmly as she was sentenced Friday by Geauga County Common Pleas Judge Forrest Burt.
She had faced up to five-years in prison.
During the hearing, Mason stood and her voice quivered as she tearfully apologized for what happened on June 2, when James Mason collapsed in her arms.
Chris Mason is also known as Christine Newton-John, the name she prefers and took after her 1993 gender change. She had been John Leslie Vallandingham.
James Mason had known his wife since she was born a boy. The janitor and former military man was a boarder in the child's home and was treated like family.
