Kaitlin Armstrong, who was convicted last November of murdering pro cyclist Anna Moriah 'Mo' Wilson in May 2022, was ordered to pay the victim's family $15 million.
A Texas court ordered Kaitlin Armstrong, who was found guilty in November of murdering pro cyclist Anna Moriah 'Mo' Wilson in an East Austin home in May 2022, to pay the victim’s family $15 million. FOX 7 in Austin reported that Wilson’s parents, Karen and Eric Wilson, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Armstrong last month, seeking over $1 million in relief.
Prosecutors said Armstrong stalked Wilson's location with the Strava app — a popular tool for cyclists and runners that shows their routes — and that she had access to Strickland's Apple and Gmail accounts and would read his texts and emails. Armstrong was ultimately convicted of murder and sentenced to 90 years in prison. She will be eligible for parole after serving 30 years in prison.
The court ultimately ordered Armstrong to pay $15 million, with $5 million going to both of Wilson’s parents, and another $5 million for exemplary damages that 'the Court determines sufficient to deter the same or similar actions' by Armstrong in the future. As part of the order, the Court stipulated that Wilson’s parents could also recover from Armstrong post-judgement interest of 8.5% per year, plus all taxable court costs. Fox News Digital’s Michael Ruiz, Audrey Conklin and Christina Coulter contributed to this report.
