Murder of Dale Harrell
The murder of Dale Harrell occurred in early 2009 by Marissa-Suzanne "Reese" DeVault (born November 6, 1977), a Gilbert, Arizona woman who was convicted in April 2014 of the first-degree murder of her husband, Dale Harrell, in January 2009. Her trial made national and global headlines. Her case was noted as being very similar to that of Jodi Arias, with whom DeVault was in contact and whose murder trial occurred in the same courthouse one year earlier. Even though she faced the death penalty for her crime, DeVault was sentenced to life in prison. She is imprisoned within the Arizona Department of Corrections.
==Murder and investigation==
On January 14, 2009 DeVault entered the master bedroom that she and Harrell shared, and struck Harrell several times in the head while he was sleeping. Harrell received multiple skull fractures and was taken to the hospital.〔 DeVault initially claimed that Harrell was beaten by an unknown assailant who had broken into the home.〔 She later confessed that she had beaten Harrell as an act of self defense and alleged that Harrell was physically and sexually abusive.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hlntv.com/slideshow/2014/02/21/marissa-devault-hammer-killing-crime-scene-photos )〕 DeVault was arrested the same night on charges of aggravated assault and was held at a local jail, but was later released on bail.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://archive.azcentral.com/community/gilbert/articles/20140210marissa-devault-hammer-killing-case-timeline-events-prog.html )〕 Officers noted that DeVault had reddened marks upon her neck and that they had found a hammer covered with blood at the crime scene.〔 Three weeks after her release, the same day that Dale died, DeVault was assaulted and discovered in a field. DeVault reported that she had been jumped by an unknown assailant and left by the side of the road with a broken jaw and ankle.〔 On February 9, 2009 Harrell died of his wounds and a grand jury indicted Devault for first-degree murder.〔 Despite DeVault admitting to the assault, DeVault and Harrell's roommate Stanley Cook Jr. confessed to officials that he was the true assailant and that he had beaten Harrell because of his violent actions towards DeVault. Police stated that there was no evidence to link Cook Jr. to the crime.
Harrell was cremated at a Mesa mortuary and as DeVault refused to give the remains to his parents, they sued her for punitive damages and for Harrell's remains.〔 DeVault filed a 300 page confession with the Gilbert police where she detailed the years of alleged abuse, stating that Harrell had beaten and raped her on January 14, which prompted her to assault him with the hammer. She also reported that Harrell had frequently sent her to the hospital and that he had once shoved her in front of several witnesses and dislocated her shoulder, which one of the witnesses helped pop back into place.〔 During this time police interviewed friends of DeVault and Harrell, who reported that they had not seen any evidence to corroborate claims that Harrell had been abusive towards DeVault.〔 They also mentioned that DeVault had lied to them in the past about receiving a large inheritance from the death of her stepfather and that she had also lied about a lover she was seeing on the side, Allen Flores, who had been introduced to them as an ex-lover of her stepfather.〔 Flores's house was searched twice and the police located a computer with child pornography on it. Flores later agreed to testify on the Harrell murder in exchange for full immunity over the pornography charges.〔
