Stracuzzi Sentenced to Life After Reduced Charge
Stracuzzi receives life term in Superior Court after murder charge lowered from first to second degree on prosecutor's recommendation. The former aircraft worker killed his wife Gertrude with a .22 pistol in April 1953. State notes lack of premeditation and mental status findings justify lesser charge and emphasize treatment over length of punishment. He had prior insanity findings and a previous life sentence in 1954 was overturned by the state Supreme Court for lack of sanity ruling. Deputy Atty. Jack Podret argues the aim is protection and treatment rather than harsh length. Stracuzzi showed mixed emotion at sentencing and expressed readiness to return to society.
