Status: Incarcerated
In Oxygen's Snapped, Season 1, episode
11 the story of Greg deVillers and Kristin Rossum is shown. This
happens in the state of California. Oxygen describes this show as:
Kristin Rossum, a forensic toxicologist, gives her husband Greg
deVillers a fatal dose of Fentanyl in November 2000 and tries to pass
off his death as suicide after he caught her having an affair.
Kristin Rossum was convicted of murder. She was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility for
parole and a $10,000 fine
Her appeal includes:
The prosecution's case was purely circumstantial, hinging in large measure on toxicological and medical evidence which was equivocal. The fentanyl levels in de Villers's autopsy samples were extraordinarily, even unnaturally, high. While these elevated concentration levels suggested that death was immediate, they were at odds with medical evidence which indicated that de Villers lingered in a state of unconsciousness for several hours before he died.
