Stephanie Lazarus, a former LAPD detective convicted of murdering her ex-lover's new wife in 1986, was denied parole for the second time. Despite confessing to the crime in 2023, Lazarus' parole was overturned after concerns were raised about her accountability and the inconsistencies in her testimony.
A former Los Angeles Police Department detective who admitted to shooting and killing her ex-lover's new wife was denied parole for a second time on Wednesday. Stephanie Lazarus, now 64, was sentenced to 27-years-to-life in a state prison back in 2012, three years after she was arrested and more than 26 years after the murder happened in 1986.
During the most recent parole hearing, Commissioner Kevin Chappell said that she was found unsuitable for parole after determining that her testimony about the 1986 attack did not 'match up with the evidence' used to convict her in 2012. He said that more of her DNA would have been found at the scene if the incident was in fact a 'fight' as she had testified. Instead, he said that 'you were the only one engaging in this extreme act of violence.
