Kimberly Baldwin was a successful businesswoman and mother of three in Fort Worth, Texas. She and her husband, Mark Baldwin, owned a successful import-export company and were known for their lavish lifestyle. However, their extravagant spending caused financial strain on the company, leading to a lawsuit from their business partner.
On the morning of September 6, 2011, Mark was found dead in his bed. He had been shot in the head three times. Kimberly told police that she had found her husband dead when she woke up that morning and that she had no idea who could have done it.
However, investigators quickly began to question Kimberly's story. They discovered that the couple's finances were in shambles and that they were on the brink of bankruptcy. They also learned that Kimberly had been having an affair with a man named David Wynn, who she had met at a bar.
Kimberly was arrested and charged with the murder of her husband. During her trial, prosecutors argued that she had killed Mark in order to collect his life insurance and save the failing business. They also pointed to her affair with Wynn as evidence of her motive.
However, Kimberly's defense team argued that there was no physical evidence tying her to the murder and that she had no motive to kill her husband. They also suggested that Wynn may have been involved in the crime.
In the end, the jury found Kimberly guilty of murder and she was sentenced to 60 years in prison. She has maintained her innocence and continues to fight for her release.
