“By 2009, he had burned through most of the money paying off the mortgages of family and friends, and thats when he met Dee Dee Moore. … Moore had a different look in court yesterday, but has always maintained that it was strictly a business relationship.”
According to WTNH, authorities say Shakespeare was shot twice in the chest in April 2009 and wasn’t reported missing until November. His body was found in January the following year.
“Police found the body of lottery winner Abraham Shakespeare buried in Moore’s backyard. the body was covered in concrete while Moore was living in the million dollar mansion and spending Shakespeare's money.”
According to ABC News, the trial is expected to last two weeks and prosecutors are not pursuing the death penalty. If convicted, Moore faces life in prison.
