Pamela Smart has asked a New Hampshire judge to allow her latest attempt to secure a new trial in the 1990 murder of her husband, arguing that jurors were misled during the original case. Smart was convicted of manipulating her teenage lover, William Flynn, into killing Gregg Smart, in a case that drew national attention and became one of the country’s most prominent murder trials.

At the time, Smart was 22 and worked as a high-school media coordinator; prosecutors said she had a sexual relationship with Flynn, who was 15. Her appeal challenges the fairness of the jury process, although the article excerpt does not state what ruling the judge will make or provide further details of the alleged misleading information.
