Solomon Stinson, 29, was shot to death on August 21, 2006, outside his gated Southside subdivision in the Ironwood community of Gate Parkway, Jacksonville, Florida. His death prompted years of litigation and appeals.

Solomon’s wife, Noni Jamil Stinson, was convicted of second-degree murder in 2007 and sentenced to 35 years, but that conviction was overturned by the 1st District Court of Appeal because of improper jury instructions and the state’s failure to rebut her claim of self-defense. At retrial she was convicted of manslaughter and given a 30-year sentence. Prosecutors argued Solomon was killed after Noni discovered evidence of infidelity; Noni said she acted in self-defense, saying an argument escalated after she found a kilo of cocaine and that Solomon had pulled a gun, then put it down and punched her, whereupon she grabbed the gun and fired three shots.

Noni continued to seek a new trial, contesting the match between physical evidence and the prosecution’s narrative and alleging prosecutorial misconduct and ineffective counsel; in 2018 a judge granted an evidentiary hearing so those claims could be presented. Does anyone have additional details about the shooting or the evidence presented at trial?
