NEW YORK – In Session turns this week to Colorado v. Shawna Nelson, a high profile murder trial from Fort Collins featuring a classic love triangle among people in law enforcement. Although the jury already has spoken in this case, we won’t spoil it for viewers who want to follow this murder mystery on In Session.

Shawna Nelson’s murder trial is featured on In Session.

We’ll set the stage: On a cold, dark winter evening, a Colorado woman is gunned down in a parking lot as she leaves her job at a local credit union. The shooting was precise, merciless, an execution.

Was the shadowy figure that fired the shots a woman involved in a lengthy extramarital affair with the victim’s husband? Or is the defendant completely innocent, as she claims – perhaps even the victim of someone else who wanted to frame her for the killing?

Those are the questions at the heart of the case.

The Nelson case was big news in Colorado. First, Kenneth Nelson, the defendant’s estranged husband, was charged with evidence tampering; authorities believed he helped his wife dispose of the murder weapon.

Then Michelle Moore, Shawna Nelson’s best friend, was also arrested: Moore was charged with conspiring to help the defendant commit the murder. It seemed as if every time things settled down, some new piece of information shocked the public.

Stay tuned as we stay In Session.
