Did misogyny convict rural MO woman?

Prewitt's trust that the legal system would exonerate her "was tragically misplaced," her daughter, Jane Prewitt Watkins, wrote in a 2018 column published in The Kansas City Star.

The following year, the former director of the Missouri Department of Corrections endorsed her release. "In my four decades in corrections in Missouri, I have never made a single recommendation for clemency, until now," George Lombardi wrote in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "Gov. Mike Parson should release Patty Prewitt today."

I live down the road from this. Supposedly an overzealous prosecutor and investigator decided she killed her husband from the start. Why? Because they'd separated a few years earlier, had relationships then got back together. They decided that a woman who could do that would kill her husband.
