In the case of the woman I talked about who had an intellectual disability, it actually was considered a contract killing at the time, because she was in a bar and had asked someone to help her by stopping this man, her common-law husband, from beating her. The man who killed her common-law husband said he would help her if she gave him $100. It's unclear whether she had any idea that it would be anything more than scaring him or beating him up or something. I would question whether she even had some of the requisite ability to form the intent. Nevertheless, she was convicted of first degree murder at that time. She was one of our early reviews. She was also the woman who was returned, because she was living with some women who were committing fraud, and she was thought to be part of it. It turned out that she wasn't, and she was released again. That's the only woman who was in that kind of situation.
Two of the women were caught in the constructive murder situation. When the constructive murder provisions were withdrawn, these were two women whose cases weren't active, so they weren't reviewed. They had been convicted of first degree murder even though they were not.... They were with the men, and the men had threatened them to not warn the police, in both cases.
So those are three. One did not testify and was convicted of first degree murder. Two others did testify and were still convicted of first degree. Three acted alone, and the rest had co-accused. Ten were eligible, nine applied, and two were unsuccessful. So one has not applied.
