After spending almost six years behind bars and facing two trials, Alexis Turpin was yesterday discharged of the 2016 murder of her partner, Sherwin Johnson, after a judge upheld a no-case submission made on her behalf.
Turpin had been jointly charged with her lover Stephon Barlow, for the July 2nd, 2016 fatal crow-bar beating of Johnson.
After their first trial in February of last year which ended in a hung jury, Barlow threw himself at the mercy of the court, accepting guilt on the lesser charge of manslaughter.
He is currently serving a 10-year sentence.
