Sheila Keen-Warren Released in 'Killer Clown' Case

Sheila Keen-Warren, dubbed the 'killer clown', was released from a Florida prison 18 months after pleading guilty to the 1990 murder of Marlene Warren, her husband's former wife. Despite her guilty plea, Keen-Warren has consistently maintained her innocence, citing the plea deal as a strategic move to avoid a potential life sentence. She was sentenced to 12 years but benefited from Florida's 1990 laws allowing significant reductions for good behavior. The case remained cold until 2017 when advancements in DNA technology led to her arrest. Keen-Warren was suspected early on, partly because of her affair with Marlene's husband, Michael Warren, whom she later married. The conviction closes one of Florida's most bizarre cases, though controversy remains over the strength of the evidence leading to her plea.
