Sharon Maxwell and Gordon Lynn Maxwell

As seen on Season 23 of Oxygen's Snapped, Sharon
Maxwell was found guilty of murdering husband Gordon Lynn Maxwell, a Baptist preacher. Having been married ten times prior and sleeping around with others, police felt a possible motive may have been a life insurance policy.

She was sentenced to life without.

Her appeal (see link) includes:

From the time Gordon Lynn Maxwell’s charred body was discovered in his partially burned truck in his backyard, until the conviction1 of Sharon Anne Maxwell for the murder of Gordon, her tenth husband, Maxwell2 furnished authorities at least three different narratives to explain Gordon’s death. We affirm the trial court’s judgment because (1) sufficient evidence supports Maxwell’s conviction, (2) admitting evidence of Maxwell’s recent contacts with Stroman and Campbell was within the trial court’s discretion, (3) admitting evidence of the biting incident was harmless, (4) admitting French’s testimony was harmless, (5) denying Maxwell a continuance was not harmful error, and (6) no error in admitting the hearsay portions of Mullins’ investigative report was preserved.
