A husband has been convicted of the murder of his wife among other charges after her smartwatch tracking data revealed that she was up and moving around for a full hour after he claimed she was killed by an intruder.
The husband told police that a masked man broke into their home, killed his wife, and tied him up. Police discovered him with superficial knife wounds, and with zip-ties securing one of his legs and one of his arms to a folding chair. According to the police, there were no signs of a struggle in the house.
The police say that the husband gave them a timeline of events that conflicted with data on his wife's Fitbit, which showed that she was moving around for about an hour after the time he said she had been shot. In closing arguments the prosecutor painted a picture of a man who staged a home invasion and killed his wife in order to prevent his life from unraveling due to an extramarital affair and a pregnant mistress who later gave birth to their child.
