Husband murders wife with a pack of ciagrettes

Pictured here is: Linda Curry's tlife insurance policies Linda CurryÕs love for her husband Paul is the reason she was murdered. The pretty blonde refused to leave Paul Ð even when she was on her death bed friends and family were urging her to dump him. For Linda was repeatedly poisoned but refused to believe her super smart husband of nearly a year would be so callous as to try and kill her. Friends knew better after he tried to take a million dollar insurance policy out on her Ð and she ended up in hospital for 21 days. Linda recovered and stayed with Paul, who had been a champion on the hit game show Jeopardy. But just six month later in 1994, she was dead Ð from a ÔcatastrophicÕ level of nicotine injected into her body. Police and even AmericaÕs leading nicotine expert were stunned that someone had been murdered from something as simple as a pack of cigarettes. But the levels of nicotine in LindaÕs body were fatal and she died shortly after it entered her body. But there was no physical evidence to tie Paul to the murders Ð despite him being the only person with Linda in the last six hours of her life. The case went cold for years. Paul moved away, got married again and had a child. But a vigilant detective was handed the cold case Ð and began digging into the evidence. Sgt Yvonne Shull spent four years from 2002 to 2006 building a case against Paul Curry, who she unmasked as a con man Ð and then the prosecutor spent another three years making sure they could prove he administered the nicotine. After interviewing him in 2010, Curry was arrested and charged with first-degree murder for financial gain, which carries a mandatory life sentence with no possibility of parole. Curry went on trial in 2014 and it took a jury just a day and a half to find him guilty of murdering Linda with a pack of cigarettes.
