A day after a Queens jury acquitted her of murdering her “abusive” husband, Barbara Sheehan went to church this morning, saying she felt no “vindication” concerning the outcome of the trial.
“There are really no winners,” she said with a shrug outside her Howard beach home.
Sheehan, 50, was found not guilty Thursday after she admitted pumping 11 bullets into her former cop husband Raymond in 2008 following a fight.
She claimed the shooting was self-defense, although prosecutors unsuccessfully argued she had committed second-degree murder.
Sheehan attended church a block from her home at Our Lady of Grace to apparently thank God for the verdict.
“I just got back home from church,” she said.
She also said she plans to spend the weekend with her two adult children, Jennifer, 25, and Raymond, 21, who testified on her behalf during the trial.
“We’re going to stay home an relax for a few days,” she said.
Asked what advice she would give women in her situation she said: “Get out early.”
Sheehan, 52, still faces jail time after being convicted of criminal possession of a weapon.
Queens Supreme Court Justice Barry Kron could have sentenced Sheehan to prison time immediately after the verdict, but decided to give her until next Wednesday before she surrenders to authorities.
The judge is expected to set a November sentencing date at that time.
