In season 2, episode 12, Black Widow is
the love story of Sharon Lynn Nelson and Dr. Perry Nelson. This does
not end well for Glenn Harrelson and Dr. Perry Nelson as they end up
dead at the hands of Sharon Lynn Nelson, in the state of Colorado.
The show is described as: As Sharon and
Perry Nelson's relationship falters, a new lover lurking on the
fringes threatens to introduce more than a dash of violence into an
already volatile mix..
Sharon Lynn Nelson was born in 1945 and would be 74 years old at
the present time. She has likely died in prison, though there are no news stories available. She is not in state or federal custody.Her appeal includes (see link):
In this case, police interrogated Myers on two occasions—both times at the police station—first within hours and then just days after her husband was murdered and after her son and his friend had already confessed to the murder and implicated Myers in planning and facilitating the murder. The entire tenor of the interrogations, which were conducted by a team of multiple officers, was accusatorial, aggressive, and confrontational. As the trial court found, during both interrogations, Myers was “immediately and aggressively confronted by multiple officers about her involvement in the murder. The tone of their questioning indicated that law enforcement believed [Myers] was a suspect.”
For the reasons more fully explained below, we conclude that Myers was in custody for purposes of Miranda warnings during both interrogations, and the Fifth District did not afford proper deference to the trial court's findings, nor did it adequately consider the factors this Court set forth in Ramirez and explained in Ross guiding police on when Miranda warnings are necessary. We agree with the trial court and with Judge Cohen's dissent in the Fifth District's decision that “a reasonable person would have felt constrained” in the circumstances in which Myers was interrogated. Myers, 169 So. 3d at 1232 (Cohen, J., dissenting). As Judge Cohen explained, “courts should view attempts by law enforcement to circumvent [Miranda] safeguards warily.” Id. Thus, Myers' constitutional right against self-incrimination under both the United States Constitution and the Florida Constitution was violated by the failure of police to safeguard her constitutional right through the administration of Miranda warnings before proceeding with Myers' custodial interrogations. Accordingly, we quash the Fifth District's decision below.
