Mon, Feb 27, 2023

Las Vegas, Nevada: A former Playboy model, Kelsey Turner, who posed in the "Playboy Italia" and "Maxim" magazines, connects with a 71-year-old psychiatrist, Dr. Thomas Burchard, after he sees her photos online. He supports her for two years and gives her more than $300,000 before threatening to cut her off from his money. After that, their relationship takes a deadly turn. In the end, Kelsey Turner is indicted for the 2019 homicide of her "sugar daddy". Prosecutors argued that Turner instructed her boyfriend, Jon Kennison, to attack Burchard when the doctor visited the couple in Las Vegas. In court, Kelsey Turner used a legal maneuver known as an "Alford Plea" in which the suspect is not admitting guilt, they are maintaining that they are innocent, but they agree that the prosecutors have enough evidence against them that if the case were brought to trial, the trial would likely result in a guilty verdict. Kennison was sentenced to 18 to 45 years in prison after entering a guilty plea.
