Sterlize this bitch before she goes into prison.

A woman who killed an 87-year-old Broadway vocal coach by pushing her to
the ground in New York City pleaded guilty Wednesday and will be sentenced
to eight years in prison, the district attorney said.

Lauren Pazienza, now 28, shoved Barbara Maier Gustern to the ground from
behind in the Chelsea neighborhood on March 10, 2022, officials said at
the time.

Gustern, a vocal coach fondly regarded in New York’s theater community,
died five days later of blunt force trauma to the head.

Pazienza pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter in a plea deal and
will be sentenced Sept. 29 to eight years in prison, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement.

Pazienza shouted obscenities at Gustern before she crossed the street and shoved her to the ground, the district attorney's office said. She
eventually fled to her family's Long Island home and was arrested almost
two weeks after the attack.

Assistant District Attorney Justin McNabney said last year at the time of
the arrest that Gustern told authorities someone called her an expletive
and shoved her down.

McNabney said at that time that the incident was unprovoked.

Pazienza's attorney, Arthur Aidala, declined to comment Wednesday night.

Among Gustern's other achievements, she was the vocal coach for the 2019 Broadway revival of the musical “Oklahoma!"

In addition to the prison time, Pazienza will be under five years of post- release supervision, the district attorney's office said.

Bragg said in a statement that the sentence holds Pazienza accountable. He called Gustern “a talented musical theater performer and vocal coach who touched so many in New York City and beyond.”
