Jody Lynn BOWMAN

 
 
 

 

Taking the stand in her own defense, Jody Lynn Bowman holds the gun she used to shoot her
boyfriend George Jupin, whom she claimed she caught molesting her 3-year-old daughter.

 

 

Police found Jupin's dead body in the couple's bedroom. Bowman claims this is the bed where she
caught Jupin masturbating while her young daughter, Maddie, was lying next to him naked.

 

 

Bowman had two daughters from two previous marriages -- Sarah, who was 9 at the time
of the shooting, and 3-year-old Maddie. After her arrest, her first husband, John Herndon,
took custody of both girls.

 

 

Jupin had a penchant for pornography. Police found these pornographic materials
when they searched the house -- but that's not all they found.

 

 

Police also discovered drugs and drug paraphrenalia. Prosecutors claim Jupin sold drugs
for a living. His autopsy revealed cocaine and other narcotics in his system.

 

 

Bowman fired this 9mm handgun at Jupin, killing him with a bullet to his head. She says she fired in
self-defense when Jupin lunged at her. The jury acquitted bowman after 11 hours of deliberation.

 

 

The victim

 

George Jupin had a criminal history, sold and used drugs and was covered in tattoos and piercings,
but according to his friends who acknowledged his flaws, was not a pedophile.
