Woman, 78, gets 22 years for attempted murder of lawyer

Patricia Currie of Mandeville was 75 when she raised a loaded shotgun toward Keith Couture in 2016. A St. Tammany Parish jury convicted Currie in August of attempted second-degree murder, which carries a minimum sentence of 10 years. Prosecutors asked for the 50-year maximum at Thursday's sentencing by Judge Alan Zaunbrecher, District Attorney Warren Montgomery said in a news release Friday.
