VERDICT: Buried Husband Murder Trial — FL v. Laurie Shaver — Day 5

Thirty-seven-year-old Laurie Shaver was arrested and charged with second-degree murder in 2020 after her husband, Michael Shaver, had been missing since 2015. His body was discovered buried beneath a concrete slab in Laurie Shaver’s backyard. In a shocking twist, the couple’s daughter confessed to the crime, claiming she shot her father to protect her mother, who allegedly said he was abusing her at the time. If convicted, Laurie Shaver could face life in prison.

A 7 year old child would not know how to keep a secret they would tell their friends and teacher someone they would have said something did she go to school or was she home schooled

Laurie looks so like the quintessential female outlaw in that mugshot. That picture really captures it.

[jlm]

It sickens me to how she involved her young daughter and how she also got her to lie for her !!
