Arizona Woman Sentenced to Probation for Poisoning Husband's Coffee

Melody Felicano Johnson avoids prison after a plea deal, receiving three years of probation and mandatory mental health treatment.

Melody Felicano Johnson was initially charged with attempted first-degree murder but pleaded guilty to lesser charges of adding poison to food or drink.
Evidence included video footage and chemical tests that confirmed the presence of bleach in the coffee.
The sentencing judge considered her year in custody and the estranged husband’s request for no prison time.
Her estranged husband, Roby Johnson, used pool chemical testing strips and hidden cameras to detect the poisoning.
The couple remains legally married and their divorce proceedings are ongoing.
