Sheila Keen Warren has admitted to dressing up as a clown and fatally shooting her husband's first wife at the victim's Florida home more than 30 years ago, though her attorney still maintains her innocence.
Keen Warren withdrew her plea of not guilty and changed her plea to guilty during Tuesday's court appearance. The plea deal calls for a 12-year sentence, though Keen Warren's attorney, Greg Rosenfeld, told reporters outside the courtroom that he expects her to be home in 10 months. If convicted, she faced a life sentence.
Sheila Keen Warren enters court before pleading guilty to the 1990 Wellington"clown" murder of Marlene Warren, April 25, 2023, in West Palm Beach, Florida.Rosenfeld called the plea "a big win for our client" -- while continuing to deny her guilt in the shocking crime. A white Chrysler LeBaron was found approximately four days later in a Winn-Dixie parking lot that had "trace evidence," including long brown human hairs and what law enforcement officers "described as artificial orange-like fibers," Scott said. A search of Keen Warren's home at the time turned up similar fibers, he said.
Keen Warren and the victim's husband, Michael Warren, would go on to own a restaurant in Tennessee and marry in 2002, prosecutors said. The two lived in Abingdon, Virginia, until Keen Warren's arrest in 2017.MORE: Killer clown suspect's husband insists she's 'falsely accused' of shooting his 1st wife
