Susan Brown is a Michigan murderer you've never heard of! Susan Brown was convicted by Jury in Wayne County of Homicide - Murder First Degree-Premeditated. This was the one and only charge, she has no criminal history.

Her appeal includes:

Defendant  appeals  as  of  right  following  her  conviction  of  first-degree  murder,  MCL  750.316(1)(a).    Pursuant  to  her  conviction,  defendant  was  sentenced  to  life  imprisonment.  Because  we  are  not  persuaded  that  any  of  the  issues  raised  by  defendant  merit  reversal  of  her  conviction, we affirm. Defendant and the victim were in the process of a divorce when this incident took place. According  to  defendant,  the  victim  returned  to  the  home  and  following  a  verbal  dispute  attempted to rape and kill her.  Defendant who was thirty weeks pregnant at the time the offense occurred, claimed that she acted in self-defense when she stabbed her husband to death.  In order to  bolster  her  claim  of  self-defense,  defendant  sought  an  in  camera  review  of  the  victim’s  psychiatric  records.    In  her  motion,  defendant  alleged  that  the  victim’s  behavior  had  changed  following  their  separation,  however,  defendant  failed  to  indicate  with  any  degree  of  specificity  what  the  records  might  reveal  other  than  a  suggestion  that  “possibly”  the  victim  had  been  diagnosed  as  bipolar.    Defendant  did  state  that  the  victim  had  been  diagnosed  as  having  codependent and passive-aggressive personality types, however defendant did not provide a basis for ascertaining whether these personality types related to a person’s propensity for aggression. She proffered no example of prior aggressive behavior, either before, or after the separation

Their victims or intended victims include her former husband,

Mcconnell Adams is a Michigan murderer you've never heard of! Mcconnell Adams was convicted by Jury in Oakland County of Homicide - Murder First Degree-Premeditated and Felony Murder. His appeal includes: Defendant was tried with his codefendant, Anitra Coomer  , before separate juries in the Oakland Circuit Court in October 1997.   The facts surrounding the death of Dr. Deborah Iverson have been set forth in detail in the companion case, People v. Coomer, 245 Mich.App 206, 627 N.W.2d 612 (2001), and we see no need to restate those facts here.   Defendant's and codefendant Coomer's trial lasted ten days, although much of the testimony was presented to codefendant Coomer's jury only.   There was virtually no physical evidence linking defendant to the murder, as there was with codefendant Coomer.   Thus, this case focuses on the propriety of the admission of defendant's videotaped confession into evidence.

Debra Lynne Smith is a Michigan murderer you've never heard of! Debra Lynne Smith was convicted by Jury in Oakland County of Homicide - Open Murder - Statutory Short Form. Her appeal includes: The challenged evidence that defendant had acted violently toward the victim in the past, that  defendant  had  exhibited  jealousy  of  the  victim,  and  that  the  victim  was  afraid  of  defendant  and wanted to get away from defendant was relevant for a proper purpose—to show defendant’s motive for killing the victim.  See also Fisher, supra at 543.  Evidence that defendant threatened the victim in the past is highly probative of motive, such that its probative value outweighs any prejudicial effect of admitting the evidence. People v Armentero, 148 Mich App 120, 133; 384 NW2d 98 (1986).  Additionally, evidence that defendant owned and was familiar with a handgun was  relevant  to  show  defendant’s  opportunity  to  commit  the  crime  and  to  show  absence  of  mistake  o
