Second Degree Murder

Sentence

15 Years to Life

Kimberly Long came home one night to a nightmare.  Her boyfriend was on the couch, beaten to death, and there was blood everywhere.  Based on little more than an argument they had earlier in the day to establish motive, she was convicted by a jury even though the judge in the trial stated that he did not believe the prosecution proved her guilt.  After many years of litigation, Kimberly’s conviction was reversed based on time of death evidence that proved she came home after her boyfriend was already dead.  Kimberly spent seven years in prison for a crime she did not commit.
