Plaintiff alleges Todd Sommer was pronounced dead at the hospital approximately half an hour later. Plaintiff alleges Dr. Stephen L. Robinson performed an autopsy and concluded that Todd Sommer had died of cardiac arrhythmia. Plaintiff alleges Dr. Robinson did not find any signs of poisoning. Plaintiff alleges Dr. Robinson preserved tissue samples during the autopsy. Plaintiff alleges Dr. Robinson forwarded the report to Dr. Brian D.

Cynthia Sommer is Convicted of first-degree murder with the “special circumstances” of murder by poison and murder for financial gain in January 30, 2007. Conviction overturned on November 30, 2007. Charges dismisses in April 2008. Released on April 17, 2008.



You can not write to Cynthia Sommer as she is not incarcerated. If she hasn't written a book, she should. Someone decided she was guilty and built a case based on that belief instead of looking at the evidence. She loved her husband and was deeply grieving, which can make you make bad decisions. She filed a lawsuit after the fact but it was dismissed.
