Jady Voce sentenced to ten years in prison

By GARY LIBERATORE

UTICA, N.Y. (WKTV) - Jady Voce will spend the next ten years in state prison. The Utica woman stabbed her husband after leaving the bar called the Highlander on Whitesboro Street the night of April 13th of last year. 49 year old Joseph Voce died of a lacerated liver.

The couple has two children together, but Joseph's children from a prior marriage had plenty to say to their step-mother in court.

Joseph Voce's son Jeremy Sullivan told Jady Voce "you may have plead guilty to manslaughter, but make no mistake about it, you murdered my father, the father of your children and the only man who ever cared about you and for that, you should spend every second of everyday of your life behind bars."

Anorther of Joseph Voce's sons, Daniel Voce said in court, "on the faithful night of April 13th, 2008, my fathers life was taken by Jady's inability to comprehend basic childlike right versus wrong reasoning skills." He adds, "I don't think I have ever hated somebody until now. I've lived my life with the benefit of forgiveness and understanding of people and mistakes, but this event has caused me hatred that I cannot, will not, nor have the desire to lose. I cannot forgive this woman, nor should I have to."

Jady Voce did apologize to the Voce family at the end of the proceesing.

Voce will spend the next ten years at the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility down in Westchester County.

The Voce family says the only reason they agreed to the plea deal was to avoid the couple's two young children from facing a lengthy trial.

How dare you people form an opinion about someone you don't know. I did know Joe I worked with him and was a close friend for many years. Joe was a good father and did everything for his children including trying to leave Jadi several times when things were not as they should be. Don''t feed me this bull that he got what he deserved. People who make those statements get what they deserve. R.I.P. Joe you are loved and missed greatly by those of us who knew the real you.

I am absolutely disgusted that WKTV would allow anyone to post comments on a subject so sensitive. NO child should have to defend her father (from some idiot that didn't know either of them) on a website that allows the cruel people in the world to formulate their own opinions and post them for the public to read. I am sure that if this was a family member of a WKTV employee this section would be shut off ! Why don't WKTV have a little heart and go ON AIR and appologize to the children/family!!!

I have read the comments and heard everyones point of view. I can respect peoples ability to formulate their own opinions on a situation that some knew better then others. I encourage people to have their own thoughts and opinions. Fortunately this portion is over and we can all begin to move on with our lives and start the healing process, for those that have been supportive of the family I thank you.

Do you people ever stop and think how your ridiculous comments are making the family and children feel? Don't you think they have gone through enough already. Shut up and mind your own business and if you werent there and don't have first hand information then you have no business running your mouths about stuff you have no idea about.

I hope Jady finds forgiveness for herself and I hope Danny finds it in his heart to forgive...if you harbor this ill feeling it will bring you down. You will never forget your father or his voice keep him in your heart and he will live forever. Find peace its your salvation. Everyone loses here.

The lack of remourse on her face and in her mannerisms is indicative of the dysfunction... we're probably lucky she didn't stab a kid too...

I cannot believe how selfish Jady was when she turned around the way she did in the court room and said what she did. No tears, no remorse. SHe not only killed her husband she killed her kids too. I feel bad because those kids didn't deserve that. Jady deserves alot more than 10 years.

He did leave her several times, but for his children's sake he went back because she was a low life who couldn't take care of them at all.. So True Father no what you are talking about. No one deserves to die in this manner.

To "True" Father. How can you make a comment that is so hurtful and full of hate about a man you've never even met? My father was far from perfect but he loved his family and he definately did not deserve what he got! Even though I think you are arrogant and mean I hope that your children never have to feel even half of the pain that my brothers and I have endured. To everyone else, if you are blind to the situations leading up to my fathers death please keep your negative comments to yourself.

To True Father....your end statement of you not knowing either of them is where you should leave it. How dare you write that a loving son, father, grandfather, uncle, and beloved friend deserved to die! You know nothing of this couples life and what it was for them to live it. Obviously you have no regard for his family! What you wrote is completely disrespectful to his family and friends. I may not be blood but i am considered family and this has torn all of us apart. Think before you judge!

This case could have been either way also. If he was abusive and a drunk then he got what he deserved. He could have left her if he was unhappy so don't put all the blame on her, and no i dont know either one of them.
