Full Coverage: The Nancy Kissel Case
Ms. Kissel was given a retrial when Hong Kong's highest court in February
2010 threw out her 2005 murder conviction
and sentence of life in prison, citing procedural flaws in the original
trial.
At the start of the retrial Jan. 11, Ms. Kissel pleaded guilty to
manslaughter and not guilty to murder. Her attorneys
argued that although she admitted to killing her husband, she did so while
suffering from a major depressive disorder
that diminished her responsibility for her actions.
Prosecutors charged the 46-year-old Ms. Kissel with killing her husband in
cold blood, saying she drugged him with a
sedative-laced milkshake before bludgeoning him to death with a heavy lead
ornament. She engaged in a "cleanup and
disposal operation," prosecutors said, rolling the body up in a carpet and
hiring movers to stow the bundle in a storage
room near the couple's apartment on the southern end of Hong Kong island.
The case became a grim sensation for the peek it offered into the lives a
wealthy, elite expat couple who many testified
appeared to be the picture of a perfect marriage.
The jury of seven women and two men returned a verdict after 47 days of
trial and 10 1/2 hours of deliberation.
