Snapped Amy DeChant and Bruce Weinstein

Status: Incarcerated

In Oxygen's Snapped, Season 2, episode 9 the story of her boyfriend, Las Vegas bookie Bruce Weinstein and Amy DeChant is shown. This happens in the state of Nevada. Oxygen describes this show as: Amy DeChant becomes a fugitive from justice after getting caught for the July 1996 murder of her boyfriend, Las Vegas bookie Bruce Weinstein..

Amy DeChant is Sentenced to two consecutive terms of life in prison without the possibility of parole on December 18, 1998. Sentence overturned in 2000. Pleaded guilty. Sentenced to 10 to 25 years in prison on September 20, 2001

Her appeal includes:
In the fall of 1995, DeChant, an operator of a successful carpet cleaning business, became romantically involved with Weinstein, an illegal bookmaker working in Las Vegas. DeChant eventually lived with Weinstein at his new home.

The following summer, the two planned a vacation for the week after the Fourth of July. On July 5, 1996, two days before the trip was to begin, Weinstein disappeared from his home. Weinstein's neighbor, Yohan Lowie (“Lowie”), testified that at 10:00 p.m. that evening, he heard three popping sounds, which he thought were fireworks left over from the Fourth of July.

The next morning, Weinstein's friends and family became alarmed when Weinstein failed to follow his normal practice of calling in to work. Silvia White, Weinstein's mother, went over to Weinstein's house in the early afternoon. Inside, she noticed that an area of the carpet was wet, smelled strongly of vinegar, and was surrounded by brown spots. When White spoke with DeChant, DeChant told her that Weinstein had left the night before with instructions that if he was not back before the vacation began, she was to leave without him and he would meet her later.

You can not write to Amy DeChant as she has been released on 2011-07-01.
