Velma was in a relationship with Stuart Taylor, who was a widower. She forged checks on Taylor’s account to pay for her addiction. Fearing that she had been found out, she mixed an arsenic based rat poison into his beer and tea. Taylor became very ill. As his condition worsened, Velma took him to the hospital where he died a few days later. There was an autopsy which found that the cause of Taylor’s death was arsenic poisoning and Velma was arrested and charged with his murder. At the trial, her defense pleaded insanity but to no avail. Margie Velma Barfield was convicted and sentenced to death. (deathpenaltyinfo.org)
