Barbara Davis is a Michigan murderer you've never heard of! Barbara Davis was convicted by Jury in  Wayne County of Homicide - Felony Murder.  Following  a  jury  trial,  defendant  was  convicted  of  first-degree  felony  murder,  MCL  750.316(1)(b), and armed robbery, MCL 750.529.  She was sentenced to concurrent prison terms of  life  without  parole  for  the  murder  conviction,  and  five  to  fifteen  years  for  the  robbery  conviction.   Defendant  appeals  as  of  right.    We  vacate  defendant’s  conviction  and  sentence  for  armed robbery, but affirm in all other respects.

Her appeal includes:

According to the testimony at the Walker1 hearing, the police found the decedent’s body in his driveway at approximately 8:15 to 8:30 a.m. on July 10, 2002, and rigor mortis had set in. Sergeant  Isaiah  Smith  indicated  that  it  takes  eight  to  twelve  hours  for  rigor  mortis  to  occur,  which  led  him  to  believe  that  the  decedent  was  killed  before  8:30  to  10:00  p.m.  the  night  previous.    

Neighbors  reported  hearing  gunshots  at  approximately  10:00  p.m.  on  July  9,  2002.  One neighbor heard someone jump her fence shortly after hearing the shots.   The  police  learned  from  witnesses  and  neighbors  that  defendant  was  with  the  decedent  the  prior  evening,  as  late  as  9:00  p.m.    Defendant  was  “possibly”  driving  a  black  Jeep,  and  defendant’s  mother  owned  a  black  Jeep  that  fit  this  description.    One  neighbor  went  to  the  decedent’s  house  at  approximately  9:00  p.m.  and  saw  such  a  vehicle  parked  in  the  driveway.  

The neighbor knocked at the door, but no one answered. The  police  also  had  information  that  defendant  and  the  decedent  were  involved  in  a  relationship.  The neighbors directed the police to a man who knew where defendant lived.  Later that day, at 3:30 p.m., the police brought defendant to the police station.  According to Sergeant Smith, on July 10, 2002, the police advised defendant of her rights at 3:45 p.m., and she gave a statement at 4:30 p.m.

Their victims or intended victims include her father, who allegedly abused her (see link below)
