INDIANAPOLIS AP A jury
of 12 husbands will begin deliber
ations today on the fate of divor
cee Connie Nicholas, accused of
murdering her wealthy married
lover after he jilted her for a
younger woman.
The three attorneys defending
the 45-year-old, twice-divorced sec
retary have tried to convince the
jury the killing ol Forrest reel,
54. could have occurred eitner ac
cidentally or in self-defense.
Prosecutor Phillip L. Bayt and
two trial deputies contend they
have proved, through circum
stantial evidence, that Mrs. Nicho
las planned the shooting.
Neither side has questioned the
main facts that Tcel, a high ex
ecutive of a big drug firm, was
shot to death in his car last July
31 after an evening in the apart
ment of Laura Mowrer, his new
girl friend, and that Mrs. Nicholas
held the gun.
But the defense contends, and
Mrs. Nicholas testified, that her
tiny .25-caliber French revolver
fired when Tcel seized and
w r e n c h ed her arm after she
threatened to shoot herself.
Three shots pierced Teel's body
and a fourth struck' the inside of
the car. Mrs. Nicholas tcstiiicd
she knew of only one shot aqd
didn't think Teel had been hit.
After the shooting she drove her
own car to a secluded creek bank
and swallowed 75 sleeping pills
mixed in fruit juice. She was near
death when found . nearly 20
hours later.
By presenting the double possi
bility the shooting could have been
either accidental or in sclf-dc
(ensc. Mrs. Nicholas' attorneys
honed to create enough "reason
able doubt" in the jurors' minds
to bring an acquittal.
Bayt and his staff contend the
premeditation and intent neces
sary to warrant a first-degree
murder conviction are demon
strated by her purchase of the
gun. her carrying It loaded and
with seven extra cartridges in her
nurso when she went to wait for
Teel, and the firing of four shots
The first-degree murder charge
carries either death or life im
prisonment, at the recommenda
tion of the jury.
Judge Thomas J. Faulconcr's
jury instructions said the defend
ant could be convicted either of
first-degree murder, second-de
gree murder or manslaughter.
