Today I catch up with Karen Newell, it's been a while since Karen and I actually spoke. We initially recorded our interview last year and since then a lot has happened to Karen inside the prison, including a recent health scare.
Its February 20th 1994 on Sunday night a man by the name of Jon Newell would be shot multiple times on the side of a highway in the middle nowhere between coco beach and Orlando. A woman would would frantically wave down passing traffic screaming that her husband had been shot.. that woman was Karen Newell. A sheriffs deputy arrived on the scene but Mr Newell had already succumbed to his injuries.
Karen would tell detectives her husband was the victim of a car jacking gone wrong but would later be arrested and convicted for what police said was an orchestrated killing.
This is Karen's story as told by her.
