SAN DIEGO, California (AP) -- Cynthia Sommer has a death certificate for her Marine husband that lists homicide as his cause of death. Forensic experts said Todd Sommer was poisoned with arsenic.
Cynthia Sommer, shown at her trial, has been cleared of her Maine husband's arsenic murder.
But the lab results underpinning that finding were discredited two weeks ago, leading prosecutors to release the widow from jail more than two years after she was incarcerated for the supposed crime.
Now, Cynthia Sommer wants the death certificate rewritten to show her husband wasn't murdered.
"What can they say, that I killed him with a hammer?" she said.
The San Diego County medical examiner's office won't say if it will change the cause of death. The district attorney's office says it may bring new charges if additional evidence is found but admits it has no case against the widow.
