49-year-old Christopher Leclair was found guilty of first-degree murder as well as a number of other charges over the shooting death of wife Karen Leclair in 2017.
A Pennsylvania man who had previously claimed that his wife had killed herself by jumping overboard into Lake Eerie from their commercial fishing boat has been found guilty of murder. A jury found 49-year-old Christopher Leclair guilty of first-degree murder in the 2017 shooting death of his wife, 51-year-old Karen Leclair, and he now faces a lifetime behind bars without the possibility of parole.
People reported that Leclair was also found guilty of aggravated assault, tampering with physical evidence, abuse of a corpse, possession of an instrument of crime, firearms not to be carried without a license, and false reports with the jury deliberating for just under an hour and a half to come to their verdict.
