'48 Hours' episode 'Obsessed' finds 2nd guilty verdict after grueling 2nd trial

48 HOURS on CBS. Peter Van Sant reported on a 2-part episode called, "Breaking Point" and "Obsessed." Shayna Hubers was found guilty of murder and received a 40 year prison sentence (2015). Her conviction was overturned when it was discovered that a jury member had a felony conviction.

Shayna has been found guilty for a second time (2018). She faces life in prison for shooting and killing Ryan Poston (2012). She admitted to killing him with a gun and unloaded 6 bullets into his body. She claimed self-defense because he physically abused her.

Shayna wouldn't leave Ryan alone and had sent him nearly 100,000 text messages. He broke it off with her several times. She claimed that he kept pulling her back and then pushing her away. She didn't tell him that she was having sex with several other men at that time. Ryan was gonna date pageant queen "Miss Ohio" Audrey Bolte. He was killed the night before he went out with her. Shayna called 911 and said that she shot him to death. She was later seen in the police interrogation room dancing and happy that she killed Ryan.

Shayna went into her second trial still claiming Ryan abused her. She also doubled down on self-defense and went further into their sex lives by saying that he had problems. Shayna's prison cell mates turned-on-her and said that she lied about the abuse and self-defense. The jury found her guilty and this time around. They are suggesting life in prison instead of the 40 years she got in the first trial.

Check out the "48 Hours" 2-part episode on this story called, "Breaking Point" and "Obsessed."
