Crime scene

Nelson's husband, Ken Nelson, is also charged in the same case. He's accused of tampering with
evidence for allegedly handling the gun that police believe was used to kill Heather Garraus.

Ken Nelson said during the trial that his wife knew how to shoot and load the weapon.
He took the stand after the judge assured him his testimony would not be used
against him in the tampering case.

Michelle Moore was sentenced to 9 years in jail for helping Nelson plan the shooting
death of Heather Garraus on Jan. 23, 2007, in Greeley.

The victim was the wife of a Greeley police officer Ignacio Garraus, who had an affair and fathered
a child with Nelson, a former Weld County dispatcher. Ignacio Garraus broke off the three-year
affair a month before the shooting.
