CHAMBERS COUNTY, Texas – After more than two and a half years in jail, retired military mother Sarah Hartsfield is scheduled to go on trial starting Monday in the sudden death of her new husband in 2023.

Sarah Hartsfield, 50, was indicted for murder after her husband Joseph passed away in a Baytown hospital. His cause of death was due to complications of the toxic effects of insulin, according to medical examiners, but the manner was left undetermined.

Prosecutors allege she ignored an alert about Joseph’s dangerously low blood sugar level and delayed a phone call to 911 after finding him unresponsive. Investigators found up to 10 insulin pens on his side of the bed.
