During sentencing a fortnight later, Justice Hart said Stewart:
- knew what Howell proposed to do but she did nothing beforehand to prevent the murders from being carried out;
- knew she had to ensure her husband was sedated and admitted that she encouraged him to take a tablet that night when he said that he had difficulty in sleeping;
- knew that she had to open the garage door to let Howell in and she did so;
- let him into her house and did virtually nothing to dissuade him from murdering her husband;
- knew as he went into the bedroom that he had already murdered his wife and was now going to murder her husband, yet she did nothing to prevent him;
- provided Howell with clothes so that he could dress her husband’s body;
- cut up and burnt the hose which Howell used to kill her husband and washed the bedclothes in order to destroy evidence; and,
- concealed what had happened from the police and provided them with a false account given to her by Howell designed to mislead the police and cover up the crimes.
