The sad and twisted tale that ended in the killing of a former state senator and businesswoman in northeastern Arkansas is about to become a little more clear.
Her lawyers scoffed at the new charges. One of the defense lawyers, Lee Short, dismissed them as a blatant effort by inmates to"improve their situations by giving statements against" high-profile inmates.
"The pecuniary gain aspect is an allegation that $15,000 in gold had been stolen by Becky from Linda and various possible information about the motel we're still trying to flesh out," Dittrich said."The $15,000 was money that was taken from the motel, we believe." O'Donnell's attorneys did not respond to requests for comment. In one pretrial motion they said the financial specifics have not been explained properly and argued they would need to be laid out in detail if the jury is to be allowed to hear about them. They asked the judge to order prosecutors"to provide notice of the specific item of pecuniary gain allegedly sought."
Defense attorneys have taken issue with the validity of the charges, the legitimacy of the death penalty and they also complain that jailers have restricted O'Donnell's access to her attorneys because of visitation restrictions imposed amid the COVID-19 crisis.by ABC News, of jailers keeping O'Donnell locked up under the most stringent restrictions without legal justification.
