A world-renowned forensic pathologist concluded there is no way Marni Yang could have fatally shot Rhoni Reuter in 2007, according to documents Yang s defense team filed in court Tuesday as part of her ongoing effort to win a new trial.
Yang is serving two life sentences for the murder of Reuter, the girlfriend of former Chicago Bear Shaun Gayle, who was pregnant with their child.
However, Dr. Cyril H. Wecht said in a video released Tuesday that Yang is too short to have been Reuter s killer. I believe that the person who shot and killed Rhoni Reuter would have had to have been 5 foot, 10 inches or taller, Wecht said. I do not believe that Marni Yang, who is only about 5 feet or so, could possibly have inflicted that fatal gunshot wound.
