 I'm Darren Marlar and this is a Weird Darkness Bonus Byte. From the New York Post, Nevada Black Widower convicted again of murdering sixth wife and hitman he hired to kill her by Christina Coulter. After 15 years and overturned death sentence and a retrial, a Nevada jury found Thomas Randolph guilty of orchestrating his sixth wife's murder and shooting dead the apparent hitman he hired to kill her. Jurors on Thursday convicted Randolph, 88, of conspiracy to commit murder and two counts of murder with use of a deadly weapon after five hours of deliberation per court proceedings aired by Court TV. Randolph, who uses a wheelchair and was aided by headphones for the heart of hearing, stared straight ahead and was emotionless when the verdict was read. Colleen Byer, daughter of Randolph's sixth wife, Sharon Koss, gasped and clasped her hands to her mouth when Randolph was found guilty for the second time. I'm so relieved, it's unbelievable, she said. It's been 15 years and it's been a twisted nightmare. I'm absolutely ecstatic and thrilled and relieved that he's off the streets, that he cannot do this to another woman again, she said, teary-eyed in the courtroom. Because he's a predator, he's a serious predator. On May 8, 2008, Randolph dialed 911 and told operators that a masked home intruder shot Koss. After shooting the man dead, Randolph told police he recognized him as his friend and handyman Michael Miller. But using phone records, prosecutors detailed Randolph's extensive relationship with Miller in court last week and during the accused killer's previous 2017 trial, citing hundreds of phone calls between the pair. At both his most recent trial and 2017 murder trial, prosecutors alleged that Randolph arranged for Miller to kill his wife so that he could collect more than $300,000 in insurance money, pointing out insurance policies he took out on her life in the two years before her death. The killing would actually become the subject of Dateline's 2021 miniseries, The Widower. But the Nevada Supreme Court overturned Randolph's prior conviction and death sentence in 2020, arguing that the Clark County District Court should not have allowed jurors to hear prior bad-act evidence involved in his 1986 Utah arrest for the death of his second wife, Becky Galt, for which she was acquitted. Four of Randolph's six wives are deceased. Fifth wife, Leona Stapleton, died of cancer per testimony from her family in the previous trial and fourth wife, Frances Randolph, died during heart surgery in 2004. Another man told jurors that Randolph had offered to pay him to kill Frances before her death on the operating table and that he had suggested that the death be staged as a burglary. Living ex-wife, Gayna Allman, testified that she believed Randolph was trying to kill her when a bullet from his gun struck the kitchen wall behind her while he was cleaning his weapon during their marriage. First wife, Catherine Thomas, detailed his alleged psychologically abusive behavior. The prosecutors were relegated to evidence that strictly dealt with the 2008 investigation into the murders of Koss and Miller. The state pointed out inconsistencies in Randolph's story to police, which included a video walkthrough of the house that he shared with Koss, led by Randolph. An inconsistently small amount of evidence was found in the hallway where the alleged shooting took place and the trajectory of the bullets that killed Miller did not match Randolph's retelling. Randolph offered to do anything else but help Koss while a 9-11 dispatcher urged him to do chest compressions on her body. But his attorney, Josh Tomsek, argued that this characterization was unfair. He wanted her to have medical aid, he said. He is the only one that did it. There is that silence after you hear the clearing of the house. There is a silence. Tommy is outside and he is wondering, complaining about how long it is taking law enforcement to respond. They didn't go in to help her, Tomsek continued. The only person who gave her aid was Randolph. He tried in vain. You can see there is nothing that could be done. Defense attorneys argued that police ignored evidence that Miller acted alone and zeroed in on Randolph unfairly based on his previous arrest in Utah. The crime scene was not properly preserved, they argued, and Randolph should not be expected to accurately retell every detail of the traumatic confrontation in repeated police interviews. But Chief Deputy District Attorney Christopher Hamner told jurors that Randolph was not a victim in this case but rather a villain. It's really, really hard to plan a perfect murder. Now that you have the evidence, you can see that Randolph failed because his story doesn't add up, Hamner said. It doesn't add up with what you physically see at the scene, when you see the insurance policies. It doesn't add up in the manner in which he discussed his wife or when you start thinking about his relationship with Michael Miller. Randolph's version of events, Hamner said, is not proved by other evidence but instead contradicted and even repelled by evidence. I know we did everything that we could, Tom Shek told Court TV, adding that Randolph's defense did everything they could although they were hoping for a different verdict. His office did not respond for a comment at press time. District Judge Tiara Jones is scheduled to sentence Randolph during a hearing on October 12th.
