HTN: Kalinowski Convicted of Murdering Husband

Robin Wagner Kalinowski has been convicted of second-degree murder for the fatal shooting of her husband Kevin. The jury convicted after about three hours of deliberations in her second trial. In November 2005, Kevin Kalinowski was shot in the back of the head with a hunting rifle while he slept. Sentencing for Robin is now scheduled for February 25th, where she faces a mandatory life sentence for the conviction. She will go on trial again later this year on murder conspiracy charges. In that case, she is accused of trying to contract with an undercover state trooper for the murder of the man with whom she was having an affair. Kalinowski's first trial ended in a hung jury. Kalinowski had maintained the shooting had been an accident.
