A jury has convicted a woman of killing her husband, a longtime Evansville firefighter. WNIN’s John Gibson has the update:
The jury deliberated about four hours before finding Elizabeth Fox-Doerr guilty of murder and conspiracy to commit murder Tuesday night.
She was convicted for the February 2019 killing of firefighter Robert Doerr II at their Evansville home.
Fox-Doerr’s attorney told media outlets that the verdict may be appealed.
Vanderburgh County Superior Court Judge Robert Pigman set a sentencing date of June 17th.
Fox-Doerr was accused of arranging for her lover, Larry Richmond Sr., to kill her husband.
The 46-year-old Richmond is scheduled to face trial in August.
The 51-year-old Doerr served on the Evansville Fire Department for 28 years.
For the first time under a new state law, cameras were allowed in the local courtroom.
WFIE provided pool coverage of the week-long proceedings.
