Authorities say Mascarelli helped Maxwell Johnston – who was on the run for killing Caroleo – by allowing him to stay in her Toms River home on Ravenwood Drive.
Johnston eventually killed himself during an hourslong standoff with police.
Mascarelli and several others were charged in connection to the crimes.
Mascarelli will be sentenced on Jan. 31.
