The case of Betty Solomon, often dubbed the "Fatal Attraction Killer," encompasses a complex and controversial legal journey. Carolyn Warmus, a former school teacher in Westchester County, was convicted in 1992 for the murder of Betty Jeanne Solomon, the wife of her lover, Paul Solomon. The case drew widespread attention, partly due to its perceived similarities to the plot of the movie "Fatal Attraction."
Warmus was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison and spent 27 years incarcerated before being granted parole in June 2019. Throughout her imprisonment and following her release, Warmus has consistently maintained her innocence. Her case also involved a legal dispute with her former lawyer over alleged malpractice and a lawsuit against the New York State Department of Correctional Services, in which she claimed to have been sexually abused by prison guards. This lawsuit was settled in 2008.
The case, which has been the subject of two television movies, continues to evoke discussions on the justice system, media influence, and the complexities of legal evidence. For detailed information on Carolyn Warmus's case, you can refer to the sources from Wikipedia and the Somers Daily Voice.
