BANGOR — A local woman convicted of the savage murder of her husband more than three years ago in the bathroom of the couple’s Ohio Street apartment was sentenced Friday to 50 years in prison.

An emotional Roxanne Jeskey, 51, of Bangor apologized to her husband’s family and said just before being sentenced that she regrets her actions the night of June 12 to 13, 2011.

“One thing I wish most is that all would be well with the Jeskey family with no sorrow,” she told them. “I will forever be sorry for my husband’s death.”

She did not react to the sentence but members of her family sitting behind her sobbed.

Superior Court Justice E. Allen Hunter said in imposing the sentence that brain surgery Jeskey underwent a decade ago and her mental health problems played some role in the murder but said he could not quantify it.

Assistant Attorneys General Leane Zainea and Deb Cashman, who prosecuted the case, urged Hunter to impose a life sentence because the way Jeskey murdered her 53-year-old husband, Richard “Rick” Jeskey, on June 12 or 13, 2011, was tantamount to torture.

Richard Jeskey’s siblings and children urged Hunter to impose a life sentence. They described Roxanne Jeskey as “cruel” and “a liar” who has shown no remorse for her husband’s death.

Roxanne Jeskey’s sister tearfully asked for mercy. She said that her younger sister was abused by her husband, an allegation his family denied.

The defense team of Joseph Baldacci and David Bate, both of Bangor, urged the judge to impose a 25- to 30-year sentence because the crime was a result of her mental health problems.

Jeskey pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to the charge but twice was found competent to stand trial. She was found guilty May 30 of both intentional and knowing murder and depraved indifference murder in connection with the death.

Her jury-waived trial was held before Hunter in December and January.

Hunter said he found the testimony of Dr. Michael Ferenc, former deputy medical examiner, “compelling.”

Richard Jeskey suffered extensive multiple blunt and sharp force injuries to the head, neck, torso, limbs and genitalia, Ferenc said in the autopsy report. He also was strangled with sufficient force to break the hyoid bone of his neck, Ferenc testified last year.

The hyoid bone is the bone at the top of the neck under the chin.

The judge concluded that the injuries were inflicted with a plastic baseball bat, razor, wooden and metal rods from broken towel racks, a pair of needle-nosed pliers and, perhaps other implements.

“Any one of these injuries standing alone manifests a depraved indifference to the value of human life,” Hunter said. “Taken together, they reflect a monstrous savagery and cruelty that defies comprehension.”

Bate and Baldacci have said previously they will appeal the verdict to the Maine Supereme Judicial Court.
