Murder conviction reversed for Maryland millionaire jailed in fiery death of man he hired to dig nuclear bunker under his home Jessica Schladebeck
An appeals court has tossed the murder conviction of a Maryland millionaire previously found guilty in the burning death of a 21-year-old man he hired to dig out tunnels to a secret underground nuclear bunker beneath his mansion.
Daniel Beckwitt was sentenced in 2019 to nine years in prison after he was found guilty of second-degree “depraved heart” murder and involuntary manslaughter for the death of Askia Khafra, who was burned beyond recognition in a 2017 fire at Beckwitt’s home.
