Penny Laperriere's last memories of her husband remain fresh five years later.
On Monday she will go in front of a federal judge in Boston to tell the court how losing Lyn Laperriere has impacted her and her family.
Lyn was a Super Stock drag racing champion and GM skilled tradesman. Five years ago he received his annual steroid injection for bulging discs. Those steroids turned out to be tainted with meningitis. Lyn was one 23 people in Michigan who died from the tainted steroid shots.
Federal prosecutors say Barry Cadden was running the New England Compounding Center. They say Cadden sold substandard and non sterile drugs produced in filthy conditions -- 753 people got sick in 20 states, and 76 of them died.
A jury found Cadden guilty of wire fraud and racketeering, but not guilty of murder.
"I'm telling him he destroyed my family and Lyn's family," said Penny.
She will speak at Cadden's sentencing on Monday.
"He needs to go to jail and pay for what he did, then there will be some just rewards for Lyn's dying, I guess. He needs to pay for what he did because he knew what he was doing was wrong," said Penny.
Federal prosecutors are asking for a 35-year sentence.
