Raynella Leath

Raynella Dossett Leath, from Knoxville, Tennessee, USA, is a woman who was released in 2017 from a life sentence at the Tennessee Prison for Women in Nashville for the 2003 murder of her husband David Leath. Prosecutors alleged that she shot her husband in the head, and then attempted to stage his murder as a suicide. The judge, in the third trial, directed a verdict in favor of the defendant on May 10, 2017. "The record taken as a whole does not support a finding of sufficient evidence," Judge Summers said. "The state has failed to meet its burden."
