Wendi Andriano was Sentenced to death on December 22, 2004
The appeal includes: Wendi Andriano, her terminally ill husband, Joe, and their two small children attended a barbeque on October 7, 2000. They returned to their apartment around midnight and put the children to bed.
At about 2:15 a.m. on October 8, Andriano called Chris, a coworker who also lived at the apartment complex, and asked her to watch the children while Andriano took Joe to the doctor. When Chris arrived, Andriano met her outside the apartment. She told Chris, “I have a problem. Don't ask any questions. My husband's in on the floor dying and I haven't called 911 yet.” When Andriano cautioned, “He doesn't know I haven't called 911,” Chris urged her to make the call.
Upon entering the apartment, Chris found Joe lying on the living room floor in the fetal position. He had vomited, appeared weak, and was having difficulty breathing. While Andriano was in another room calling 911, Joe told Chris that he needed help and had “for a long time.” He asked why it was taking forty-five minutes for the paramedics to arrive.
