Killer Couple : The True Story of James Marlow & Cynthia

Killer Couple : The True Story of James Marlow & Cynthia Coffman

James Marlow and Cynthia Coffman were a troubled couple who were convicted of murdering five people during a deadly rampage that spanned multiple states. The last two victims, 20-year old Corrina Novis and 19-year old Lynell Murray were kidnapped and found strangled and sodomized, and the murderous pair were found guilty of the crimes. Whereas both Marlow and Coffman received the death penalty for Novisâ€™ death, Marlow received a second death sentence for Murrayâ€™s while Coffman was sentence to life without the possibility of parole in Murrayâ€™s murder. Both defendants sought to shift the onus of blame to the other with Marlow claiming it was Coffmanâ€™s idea to kill the girls while he only wanted to rob them and Coffman alleging that she was the victim of battered womenâ€™s syndrome. Neither ploy was successful as the pair were convicted across the board for robbery, kidnapping, sodomy, and murder. Coffman has the distinction of being the first woman sentenced to death in California following the stateâ€™s reinstatement of the death penalty in 1977.
