Man's porn CDs prompted slaying, authorities say
A Chicago woman who became enraged after discovering her longtime boyfriend's stash of pornography shot and killed him in their South Side home over the weekend, prosecutors said.
Jeanette Strowder, 58, is facing a first-degree murder charge in the Sunday shooting of Jesse Martin, 54, her boyfriend of about 15 years, police said.
Strowder and Martin had lived together in the 5300 block of South Shields Avenue for the last two years, prosecutors said at a hearing Tuesday at which Strowder was ordered held in lieu of $600,000 bail. On Sunday night, Strowder found CDs inside the home containing images of nude women and lost control, authorities said.
Prosecutors said Strowder gave a videotaped confession. She has no criminal history. Criminal Court Judge Raymond Myles set an Oct. 22 court date, said Andy Conklin, spokesman for the Cook County state's attorney's office.
