Just came across a case that I had not seen before that sounds pretty interesting. I don't know much about it yet but was wondering if anyone else has been following it and has any insight.
Linda Stermer is a woman whose conviction was recently overturned...and will be retried next year. It is a Michigan murder/arson case. There were two scenarios set forth:
Wife drugs husband, douses him in gasoline, sets fire to him, and when he escapes the house alive, runs him over with her van.
Or
Wife finds husband engulfed in flames in their living room, begs him to leave as she escapes the burning house, loses sight of him outside, and accidentally runs over him with her van as she tries to drive away for help.
This article lays out the pros and cons of each theory. Michigan Murder Arson Case on Appeal: The Linda Stermer Story
She did win an appeal, which is pending. Her two sons are now pushing for the retrial saying she is guilty. Anyone know any more specifics about this case?
