Sophia Negroponte sentenced to 35 years for 2020 drunken murder of friend in Rockville.
Sophia Negroponte, daughter of former U.S. intelligence director John Negroponte, was sentenced to 35 years in prison for the 2020 second-degree murder of her friend Yousuf Rasmussen during a drunken argument in Rockville, Maryland.
The sentence followed a retrial after her 2023 conviction was overturned due to errors in jury instructions involving police interrogation evidence and witness credibility.
A second jury reached the same guilty verdict, and prosecutors called the sentence appropriate given the crime's severity.
The case drew national attention due to Negroponte’s prominent family background.
