Gary L. Kennedy, 66, of Rushsylvania, Ohio, was shot and killed in the kitchen of his home on March 10, 2017. Deputies who responded to a report of a shooting found him dead on the kitchen floor from a gunshot wound.

His wife, Rosalie Kennedy, 63, was tried for the death. She testified that Gary pulled a gun first and that she shot him in self-defense, but a jury convicted her of murder and felonious assault with gun specifications. She was sentenced to 15 years to life on the murder count plus three years for the firearm specification, making her eligible for parole only after serving at least 18 years. Rosalie Kennedy maintained she did not intend to kill him.

The case record includes law enforcement testimony and crime-scene evidence introduced at trial. Gary Kennedy’s family and friends were reported to be deeply affected by his loss.
