Memo details deal that returned Hoerig to Ohio

Claudia Hoerig was assured not to receive the death penalty or a firm term of life in prison if convicted in the murder of her husband as a result of an agreement Trumbull County Prosecutor Dennis Watkins made with the Brazilian government, according to a sentencing memorandum prosecutors filed Thursday in her case.  Watkins said he would not comment on the agreement until after today's sentencing, but The Vindicator exclusively reported several weeks ago that a Brazilian legal magazine and the British Broadcasting Corp. said such an agreement was a condition of Claudia being returned to Ohio.
