Wife of Doctor Found Responsible for His Death Ordered to Pay $200 Million
The shocking case of Dr. Steven Schwartz, a prominent kidney specialist found dead from gunshot wounds in 2014, has taken a new turn. His wife, Rebecca Schwartz, was recently found responsible for his death in civil court and ordered to pay his children a staggering $200 million. The case, which has remained unsolved for over a decade, has finally brought some closure to the family.
According to reports, Rebecca Schwartz was accused of unlawfully and intentionally killing her husband or being involved in his death. The motive behind the alleged murder was believed to be financial gain, with claims that she had been embezzling money from Dr. Schwartz for years. The civil suit brought against her by her stepchildren shed light on a troubling series of events leading up to the doctor’s tragic death.
Attorney Wil Florin, representing the plaintiffs, described Dr. Schwartz as a beloved figure in the community who went above and beyond for his patients. The evidence presented in court suggested that Rebecca Schwartz’s embezzlement scheme was uncovered by her husband, leading to a confrontation that turned deadly.
While Rebecca Schwartz was never criminally charged with murder, the handyman involved in the case pleaded guilty to being an accessory to the crime. Detectives found incriminating evidence linking him to the murder scene, including DNA on Dr. Schwartz’s shirt and conflicting alibis.
Despite the verdict in civil court, questions still remain unanswered. Attempts to reach Rebecca Schwartz’s attorney for comment have been unsuccessful. The case serves as a cautionary tale of betrayal and greed, leaving a family torn apart by tragedy and deception.
As the legal battle continues, the Schwartz family hopes to find some semblance of justice and closure in the wake of this harrowing ordeal. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
