Snip:


By Christian Boone

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Former 911 operator Lynn Turner, convicted of poisoning and killing her husband and boyfriend with antifreeze, has died, a state Department of Corrections official confirmed.




Turner was found unresponsive in her cell at Metro State Prison at 6:55 a.m. Monday, said DOC spokeswoman Sharmelle Brooks. Prison medical staff were unable to revive her and she was pronounced dead 40 minutes later.

I don't remember her name until I read this news from what she did from past time. I do remember the forensic files from TV about her killing two public served men (aka policeman & fireman). It's really bad enough & inexcusable act ways to collect money.

No sympathy from me for her recent death.

She was featured on both Forensic Files and Snapped! And yet her mother thought she was innocent, and that people lied at her trials.
Anti-freeze poisoning doesn't lie, NOT twice! Her mother is in deep denial as to whom the real liar was!!!

Snip:

The Turner murder trials, in fact, were so different they’ve drawn plenty of attention from the myriad cable TV channels that offer crime shows. Penn, the Forsyth County lead prosecutor, has done interviews for Investigation Discovery’s “Forensic Files,” Oxygen’s “Snapped” and most recently Discovery’s “Deadly Women.” She was told the latter show wouldn’t be broadcast until early next year.
“They’ll have to edit it now, won’t they?” Penn said.

I think Black Widows are some of the most cold and vicious murderers there are.

It takes a cold and totally unfeeling person to not only feed the poison to someone who trusts them but to sit back and slowly watch them whither in pain and eventually die an agonizing death.

This woman should have died on Death Row. If anyone belonged there, she did. And if she had been a male who did the same thing to his wife and then his girlfriend that is exactly where they would have been sent.

IMO

My sympathy is for her victims. I was shocked that she died when I read the story. Usually the black widow doesn't see her justice that quickly. Her maker will now have to judge her.

She had ice water running through her veins. I never could understand how she could kill those men with anit-freeze. A very big crime and her mom didn't believe she did it.??? That is a hard pill to swallow-- I mean the anti-freeze proved it all to be true.

I can't drum up any feelings for this woman at all. She deserved all she got. One has to be very cold to kill someone with anti-feeze and watch them die a slow death.

Bless the victims and their families.

Wonder what caused her death since she wasn't very old at all? I watched the trial on Court Tv and the various programs. If I remember correctly, Lynn was adopted and does have a couple of kids with Randy the last victim. She had even called the dog pound to ask how much antifreeze would kill a person claiming that she wanted to get rid of an animal.

Lynn Turner's mother had a form of CindyAnthony-itis, if I recall correctly.
She had the whole "Lynn is a victim!" song and dance down pretty well. Makes me sick!
Lynn herself was just plain evil. Stone-cold murderer and monster.

Turner's Death Ruled a Suicide

http://www.ajc.com/news/cobb/lynn-tu...rss_news_81960

Blood tests indicate convicted murderer Lynn Turner killed herself with an overdose of blood pressure medication, the GBI said Wednesday.

She probably saved them up. They have a way of hiding the pills in their cheek and then spitting them out later. I imagine she used this method to save up enough pills.

I can't say I'm sorry she is dead either. At least she saved the taxpayer's money. I'm still so sorry about the men she killed.

I often wonder if there were more in her past?

One never knows with a woman like her.

She was a coward at the end too, just like in life.

Wow - I remember watching that trial. That woman didn't have a single emotion and (IMHO) was as cold as a snake. Even when found guilty she didn't bat an eye.
