Lynn Turner's Lost Loves
Prosecutors claim the sudden deaths of Lynn Turner's husband, Glenn Turner, and her boyfriend, Randy Thompson, were no coincidence. In their bid to convict the widow of murdering her husband, prosecutors were granted the right to present to the jury evidence regarding similarities between both men, even though Lynn Turner is not being tried for Thompson's death. The following are comparisons drawn by prosecutors as outlined in court documents:
