WEB EXCLUSIVE: Sheila LaBarre Trial

Published: May 14, 2008

Two years ago, Sheila LaBarre of Epping was arrested for the murder of her boyfriend, Kenneth Countie, 24, of Wilmington, Mass. Soon afterward, police discovered that LaBarre had killed a previous boyfriend months earlier on her horse farm. Now, a jury is being asked to decide if she is guilty of two counts of first-degree murder, of if she is criminally insane, as she claims.
