I remember a little about this case when it happened but then nothing after. I'm trying to learn more. As I understand it, Berry had a feud over drug dealing with Baugh's bf/father of her children. She was a real estate agent and was lured by Berry's gf to a house, where she was kidnapped. Presumably, this was done for some sort of leverage over Baugh's bf. But then hours later, Berry just shows up and shoots the bf. Then not too long later, Baugh is shot and killed left in an alley. There just seems to be a part missing here. My speculation is that they kidnapped Baugh as part of a bigger plan (to force the bf to do something) but that plan fell apart for some reason, so they just shot everyone. Its all such a waste. Monique Baugh was a very beautiful and successful young woman.

“We realize that our opinion may result in another trial involving these difficult facts and intensify the grief of those affected by the senseless acts of violence perpetrated on Baugh and her boyfriend," the ruling said.

Such a sad story. I don't know if they will retry this woman or not, she is still in on the other charges I believe. But this beautiful young woman was just a realtor, she hadn't done anything wrong. They kidnapped and killed her just to get back at her bf. It just makes me sick. I don't buy the defendant's story that she didn't know why she was told to set up the phone house viewing. She had to know.
