Shanna Golyar and Cari Farver

As seen on Season 24 of Oxygen's Snapped, Shanna Golyar murdered Cari Farver, a love rival of the man with whom she had an obsession. She was convicted of the crime despite the fact that no body or murder weapon was ever found. She was sentenced to life. She has since appealed and lost.

After the murder, she impersonated Cari for four years by hacking her social media accounts. Cari was last seen November 13, 2012. Her remains have never been found.

 Her appeal includes:

Convictions: Evidence: Appeal and Error. In reviewing a criminal
 conviction for a sufficiency of the evidence claim, whether the evidence is direct, circumstantial, or a combination thereof, the standard is the same: An appellate court does not resolve conflicts in the evidence, pass    on the credibility of witnesses, or reweigh the evidence; such matters  are for the finder of fact. The relevant question for an appellate court\ is whether, after viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the  prosecution, any rational trier of fact could have found the essential ele ments of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt.

Effectiveness of Counsel: Constitutional Law: Statutes: Records: Appeal and Error. Whether a claim of ineffective assistance of trial  counsel can be determined on direct appeal presents a question of law,  which turns upon the sufficiency of the record to address the claim without an evidentiary hearing or whether the claim rests solely on the  interpretation of a statute or constitutional requirement. An appellate  court determines as a matter of law whether the record conclusively     shows that (1) a defense counsel’s performance was deficient or (2)  a defendant was or was not prejudiced by a defense counsel’s alleged deficient performance.

Cynthia Coates and Corey Storey

According to the Kokomo Tribune,  Coates was sentenced in November 2016 to 20 years behind bars following a plea deal brokered just days before she was scheduled to stand trial on a count of murder. Instead, she entered into an agreement pleading guilty to a lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter, a Level 2 felony. At the time of his death, Story was working as an in-home caregiver to Tommie Hammock Jr., who found his body in his home on Oct. 25, 2014, after Coates, his friend, drove him home from a birthday party, according to a probable-cause affidavit. Coates was at the party previously, but left to get her car washed. Hammock was noted in the affidavit as saying she returned to the party two hours later, but the car was unwashed. It was suspected she shot Story in that time frame. Her victim was Corey Storey.  Links Woman Kills Lover, Buries Evidence At Her Granddaughter's Grave Kokomo woman sentenced to 20 years behind bars You can write ...
