On October 12, 2012, the tranquil town of Highland Heights is shattered when Shayna Hubers calls 9-1-1, confessing she shot her boyfriend, Ryan Poston, in his condominium. Hubers claims self-defense, alleging an abusive relationship, but her strange behavior during interrogation raises doubts.
As the investigation unfolds, prosecutors argue that Poston intended to end the tumultuous relationship permanently. Text messages reveal Hubers’ obsession, and witnesses testify about her unsettling remarks. Her first conviction leads to a 40-year sentence, but it’s overturned due to a juror’s undisclosed felony.
In her second trial, Hubers is again found guilty, this time receiving a life sentence with parole eligibility after 20 years. The case captivates the media, sparking broader discussions about domestic violence claims and legal justice.
