Publish date: 2024-05-02

Sherra Wright-Robinson was charged in connection to the murder of her ex-husband Lorenzen Wright alongside Billy Ray Turner, a friend from her local church. According to the Associated Press, Wright-Robinson was accused of conspiring with Turner to kill Wright, with Wright's mother later arguing that she had been motivated to do so simply to access his life insurance, which was valued in the region of $1 million, though Wright-Robinson's defense team disputed this.

In 2019, Wright-Robinson pleaded guilty to being involved in her ex-husband's murder, a surprise result for many involved in the case, who believed the case would go to a jury trial. She was sentenced to 30 years in prison (via Commercial Appeal), while Turner was sentenced to life in prison.

When asked in an interview with Commercial Appeal why she had made the surprise decision to avoid trial and plead guilty to the murder, Wright-Robinson explained: "I'm just going to say because of my children, I have made this decision, and because of them I'm not going to go into many more details right now, but I'm just going to say everything is not what it seems."
