A Dauphin County a grand jury has enough evidence to send Gina Murphy to trial for the murder of her ex-husband the Dauphin County District Attorney's Office announced the official murder charges today.
Dauphin County District Attorney Ed Marsico says Gina Murphy did not shoot her husband in self-defense, in fact the DA’s office says the evidence supports that she shot him while he was unarmed and then placed the steak knife beside him
“It's a different type of case we have someone staging a crime scene and contending to act in self-defense that's a sophisticated criminal." Said Dauphin County District Attorney Ed Marsico.
The shooting happened on August 20, 2012 at 461 East Market St. in Williamstown. The Dauphin County DA’s office says they believe she planned the shooting. Assistant District Attorney Francis Chardo said the evidence backs that claim up. “We have indication that she planted the knife to make it look quite a self protection her fingerprints on both hands were on the knife”
At the time of the shooting Gina Murphy and Daniel Murphy were divorced and were actually married to other people but the DAs office says that you were living together and adds that Gina was having ongoing sexual relationships with a number of other men as well they contend the motive was simply money
“We believe an argument happened earlier than we believe financial issues were the motive.” Chardo said.
The grand jury decision is just a recommendation of charges Gina Murphy still remains innocent until she's proven guilty in a court of law. She's currently locked up on murder charges at Dauphin County Prison with no bail.
