Developing StoryLast updated MAR 4
SUMMARY

Bree Kuhn was found guilty of first-degree murder on September 27, 2024, for killing her husband, Collin Turner, on September 8, 2021, and was subsequently sentenced to life in prison on September 30, 2024, after a Florida jury deliberated for just over four hours. As of November 6, 2025, the legal case of Bree Kristen Kuhn v. State of Florida remains open with ongoing appellate proceedings and recent filings. Prosecutors alleged Kuhn killed Turner after he threatened to take their children, with evidence showing she locked him in their garage and shot him four times in the back while he was on the phone with a 911 dispatcher. Kuhn admitted to the shooting but claimed self-defense, intending to use a battered spouse syndrome defense, which ultimately faltered after her brother's testimony. The jury concluded on January 12, 2025, that Kuhn's act was a conscious decision to kill, not self-defense.
