A woman convicted of murdering Abraham Shakespeare has said she isn't guilty - and blames her legal team for the verdict. Dee Dee Moore said that she "would never harm another human being" and that she "likes Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Disney." The 41-year-old gave her interview to ABC News while at , in a cell block cafeteria at the Lowell Correctional Institute in Florida, where she is currently serving a life sentence.
However, the woman continues to , and has done so since the beginning of her trial more than a decade ago. In 2012, De De Moore was found guilty of first-degree and possessing and discharging a firearm after prosecutors argued that she swindled and then killed Shakespeare - who was 47. Throughout the trial, Moore did not testify, and instead blamed her legal team for her conviction.
She said: "I wanted my witnesses to take the stand. For me to take the stand, my lawyers said we didn't need it." Meanwhile, Byron Heilman, Moore's lawyer, told ABC News' 20/20 that Moore's choice to testify was hers and not his.
She said: "She made the decision not to do that." The jury at Moore's trial took only three hours to deliver a guilty verdict, which Moore continues to contest. She added: "I think people are complete idiots that think I had anything to do with it.
I think they have no brain cells." Moore became friends with Shakespeare before he disappeared in 2009, three years after winning $30million in the Florida lottery. By 2009, Shakespeare had used much of his.
