Melanie McGuire
A defense attorney urged the jury to acquit a nurse of the grisly murder of her husband Monday, and saying that the prosecution failed to produce "a stitch of evidence" the defendant shot the victim and and then preceded to cut up his body with a saw in their apartment. The lawyer for Melanie McGuire told the panel in the closing argument that the fact that police investigators using high tech methods did not find blood or DNA in five searches of the couples's town home. McGuire, a 34 year old fertility clinic nurse, faces charges of first-degree murder and desecration of human remains, among other counts.
