Sheila Keen-Warren Released After Murder Conviction

Sheila Keen-Warren, 61, has been released from prison after serving 18 months for the 1990 murder of Marlene Warren, who was shot by a clown at her home. Keen-Warren pleaded guilty to second-degree murder shortly before her trial was set to begin, maintaining her innocence throughout the process. She was sentenced to 12 years, but received significant credit for good behavior due to Florida's laws at the time, leading to her early release. The case has been controversial, with skepticism surrounding the DNA evidence that led to her arrest 27 years after the crime, and questions about the involvement of her current husband, Michael Warren. State Attorney Dave Aronberg acknowledged that the lengthy delay in prosecution created significant holes in the case. Keen-Warren's attorney expressed relief at her release, stating they have always believed in her innocence.
