NEW BRITAIN —
Krista LaFountain, a drug-addicted mother who masterminded a robbery in Plymouth in 2006 that left a man dead and another wounded, wept in court this morning as a judge sentenced her to 55 years in prison .
LaFountain, a mother of two, was found guilty of felony murder after a trial. She had been offered a plea agreement that would have had her serving a maximum of 35 years.
Prosecutor Scott Murphy said LaFountain was the ring leader of the crime that involved three others - all men about half her age. She told the others about drugs, jewelry and cash she thought was in the apartment and so provided the other defendants the information
that led the four to the apartment that Daniel Davis Sr. shared with his daughter.
Davis, 52, was fatally wounded when Sean Bodamer, 19, shot twice into the apartment with an AK-47 assault rifle. The gunfire wounded Davis's friend Todd Hall. Bodamer entered a guilty plea earlier this year and is serving a 42-year sentence.
