Key Point 2
Julie had been the victim of harassment for years, including hang-up calls, X-rated photos, and strange incidents around their home. She had reported the harassment to the police multiple times and even wrote a letter predicting her own death and naming Mark as a potential suspect.
Key Point 3
Mark had an extramarital affair with a coworker named Kelly. The defense argued that Julie killed herself out of despair and framed Mark, but the prosecution argued that Mark had motive and opportunity to kill Julie.

After Mark's initial conviction was overturned on a technicality, he was retried and found guilty of first-degree murder. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
