During Stephanie's trial for Andrew's alleged murder, his sister Jill testified: "My parents and I have waited to speak, to have a voice, to give my brother a voice, and to get him the justice that he deserves, to clear his name from the blatant lies that have been spewed from Stephanie Fernandes and her attorneys' mouths for over eight years.

"When you look at Stephanie Fernandes, you are looking at a face of evil, of someone who gives no consideration for her actions, who is incapable of love, and has shown no remorse or guilt for killing my brother."

During his mother Melissa Wagner's testimony, the grieving parent told the court: "She took away Andrew's joy and love of life.

"She took away all of Andrew's family and friends. She took away Andrew's dreams of a family of his own.

"She took away all of Andrew's money. She took away Andrew's dignity and self-respect.

"When there was nothing, nothing, nothing left for her to take, she took away Andrew's life."

She then pleaded with the judge to "take away the one thing that matters most" to Stephanie.

"Take away her freedom for as long as possible."

On June 23, 2022, a jury found Stephanie guilty of voluntary manslaughter.

Where is Stephanie Fernandes now?

On October 14, 2022, Stephanie was sentenced to 8-10 years in prison.

Throughout the case, she maintained her innocence and insisted Andrew's death was in self-defense.

She is serving her sentence at Massachusetts Correctional Institution Framingham; she'll be eligible for parole in 2026.

Regarding her memory of the incident, Stephanie testified to the court: "It happened so quick where I ran to the kitchen

"I picked up a knife and held it and said, 'Don't!' Like, screaming, anyways, the whole time, 'Don't come near me. Don't come near me.'

"Hit me in the head with the gun, choked me, and he was screamin', 'I'm gonna kill you, you f**king bitch.'

"Andy, um, ran right to me and said, 'Give me the knife, you f**king b***h,' and put his hand on my throat, and grabbed my hand, and went to headbutt me.

"And he went, 'Steph, I think I got stabbed.' I just stood there, I was in shock. I think we both were in shock."
