Yoga Instructor's Conviction Upheld by Maine Supreme Judicial Court


3

Maine's highest court has upheld the conviction of a Maine yoga instructor who's serving a 16-year sentence for beating her husband with a softball bat and staging it to look like a home invasion.

The Maine Supreme Judicial Court rejected the apeal of 51-year-old Linda Dolloff on Tuesday.

She claimed the prosecutor misrepresented facts and expressed personal opinions, and the judge made mistakes allowing certain evidence at her trial two years ago.

She was convicted of attempted murder for attacking her husband while he slept at their home in Standish then shooting herself to make it look like she had also been attacked.

The couple was going through a divorce at the time.
