The sentencing of an ex-Playboy model to 10 to 25 years in prison for her involvement in the murder of her sugar daddy has drawn attention.
The ex-Playboy model, accused of murdering a psychiatrist and concealing his body in a car trunk after he ceased paying her rent, has been sentenced to 10 to 25 years in prison.
29-year-old Kelsey Turner, a former model for Playboy and Maxim, broke down in tears as the sentence was delivered during the proceedings in Las Vegas. This comes after she confessed to the murder of 71-year-old Dr. Thomas Burchard, a psychiatrist she had been dating. His body was discovered in her car in March 2019.
Turner’s then-boyfriend, Jon Kennison, was also arrested following the discovery and pleaded guilty to the same charge. Turner entered an Alford plea in November, admitting guilt while maintaining her innocence. This plea allowed her to avoid trial and receive a reduced sentence for the second-degree murder charge, with the right to appeal.
