Incident

Norwood lured Murray back to the store after closing, then attacked her, inflicting over 300 injuries, including head trauma and stab wounds.[2][3] Murray died in the store's back hallway, after which Norwood staged a crime scene and claimed that intruders had raped both women and killed Murray.[4][2] The prosecution was barred from introducing evidence that Murray had accused Norwood of shoplifting.[2][5] The defense argued for a conviction of second-degree murder, claiming the attack was not pre-meditated.[4] The case received intense media coverage and was commonly referred to as the "Lululemon murder".[4][6][5] In January 2012, Norwood was sentenced to life imprisonment with no possibility of parole.[7] In a published opinion on April 29, 2015, the Court of Special Appeals of Maryland rebuffed Norwood's request for a new trial, effectively ending Norwood's direct appeal options.[8]

gollark: Organism is a word from biology, so it seems reasonable. Also, it's astronomical.
gollark: Somewhat. "Organism" implies different things in hard-to-explain ways.
gollark: * anyway
gollark: If you *do* go around using a definition which admits stars and everything else, it's basically meaningless, but ends up bringing all the weird things English ties to "life" and "organisms" along with it anywya.
