Probation for Incline woman who stabbed husband to death
By Reno Gazette-Journal
Judge Robert Perry sentenced an elderly woman Friday to probation in the slaying of her husband of 42 years, a sentence the couple’s children had requested.
Mary Baymiller told Perry how remorseful she was for the slaying of Charles “Skip” Baymiller, 73, and said she believes it was strictly her medication, including Paxil and sleep drugs, that led to his stabbing.
“The killing was done in a catatonic, drug-induced state,” her attorney Tom Viloria said.
Baymiller, who now lives in Reno, said she felt like she ruined her children’s lives and that she loved her husband a great deal.
The Baymiller children also pleaded with Perry to grant her probation, saying it’s what their father, a developer and winery owner, would want.
