Layla Adredini : “Brooklyn Woman Convicted for Murder”

Woman sentenced to life in prison for killing innocent grandmother

BROOKLYN, NY—Layla Adredini, a 33-year-old resident of Stuyvesant Heights, Brooklyn, has been sentenced to 20 years to life in prison after being found guilty of second-degree murder and attempted murder. Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Michael Kitsis handed down the sentence following a jury trial that concluded last month.

Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez announced the sentencing today, emphasizing that the punishment reflects the gravity of the crime committed on August 24, 2021. On that evening, Adredini drove her SUV onto the sidewalk at 2185 Pacific Street in an attempt to strike a male acquaintance but instead hit 70-year-old Brenda Ann Whidbee, who was seated outside her home.

Loss of a beloved grandmother shakes community

The impact resulted in fatal injuries for Whidbee, a beloved grandmother and longtime community member, who was pronounced dead at Brookdale Hospital. After the incident, Adredini attempted to flee on foot but was detained by local residents.

District Attorney condemns woman’s actions

\”Today’s sentence holds this defendant accountable for her shocking and depraved actions that cost an innocent woman her life,\” said DA Gonzalez. He expressed hope that the sentence might offer some solace to the victim’s family and friends.

The case was prosecuted by Senior Assistant District Attorney Daphney Gachette of the Homicide Bureau, and Senior Assistant District Attorney Gianna Del Grippo of the Green Zone Trial Bureau, under the supervision of Assistant District Attorney Leila Rosini, Homicide Bureau Chief.
