James Pipines, 58, was found shot to death in his Fayetteville, New York, bedroom on February 24, 1983. A single bullet entered behind his right ear; the day was also his wedding anniversary. He was discovered after he failed to show up for work.

Investigation attention quickly centered on Cynthia Pugh, an employee and reported lover of Pipines. Pugh was arrested and tried; the first trial ended in a hung jury. At a second trial, after testimony from 62 witnesses and presentation of 96 exhibits, she was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 20 years to life. Pugh maintained her innocence, and she pursued appeals and motions alleging issues including insufficient evidence and prosecutorial misconduct.

After serving 24 years, Pugh was released on parole in 2008, a move opposed by the Onondaga County District Attorney’s office, which cited her lack of remorse. Does anyone have details about the evidence presented at the trials or about witnesses who testified in the case?
