TL;DR Summary

A New York woman, Lauren Pazienza, has been sentenced to 8 1/2 years in prison and five years of post-release supervision for fatally shoving 87-year-old Broadway vocal coach Barbara Gustern to the ground. Pazienza pleaded guilty in August after pushing Gustern for no apparent reason, causing her to fall and suffer a massive brain hemorrhage. Gustern died five days later from blunt force trauma to the head. The sentencing brings some closure to Gustern's family and community, according to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
