The Morris County Prosecutor s Office has offered a plea deal to former Wharton elementary school teacher Virginia Vertetis, charged with fatally shooting her ex-boyfriend in 2014.
Vertetis was found guilty of murder in 2017 but appealed the decision and the appellate court granted her a new trial in March 2020, ruling the jury had been improperly instructed on the state s self-defense law.
She appeared virtually before Judge Stephen Taylor on Tuesday where Assistant Prosecutor Christopher Schellhorn said he had spoken with Vertetis attorney about the potential plea deal.
Schellhorn said if Vertetis pleads guilty to first-degree aggravated manslaughter, they would recommend a 20-year prison sentence. Vertetis attorney, Susan McCoy, said she has been in constant communication with her client since speaking with the assistant prosecutor.
