An 83-year-old widower in California has been convicted of arranging the murder of his wife’s podiatrist after she had to have her foot partially amputated and later died from an infection.
The office of the San Joaquin County District Attorney said on 24 March that Robert Elmo Lee from Lodi, east of San Francisco, was found guilty of first-degree murder with a special circumstance of murder for financial gain for his part in the killing of Dr Thomas Shock.
