Lee Gilley's Italian Lifeline Hangs in Balance as Trial Looms Over Wife Killing Charges
Texas criminal attorney Dick DeGuerin says he's never seen a case like that of his client Lee Gilley, who is accused of killing his wife and is now clinging to an Italian lifeline.
Texas attorney Dick DeGuerin has described his case against accused wife killer Lee Gilley as 'never had one like this' after Gilley's request to move to Italy to stand trial on murder charges raised eyebrows in the US court system. 39-year-old Gilley is facing multiple counts of capital murder and voluntary manslaughter for allegedly killing his 37-year-old wife, Michelle Gilley. DeGuerin has expressed confidence that they can still secure a conviction if the Italian court accepts their extradition request. The unusual move to Italy adds complexity to an already dramatic case.
