The Harrowing Story of Tia Sharp

"I gave him the nose job he wanted." That's what Shayna Hubers told police after shooting her boyfriend, Ryan Poston, six times. Then she danced in the interrogation room, sang "Amazing Grace," and snapped her fingers while saying, "I did it! Yes, I did it!" This is the chilling story of a relationship that turned deadly [citation:1][citation:7].On October 12, 2012, 29-year-old lawyer Ryan Poston was found dead in his Highland Heights, Kentucky condo. He had been shot six times, including in the face. The trigger was pulled by his on-and-off girlfriend of 18 months, 21-year-old Shayna Hubers. She called 911 and told the operator, "I killed my boyfriend in self-defense." Hours later she told police: "I shot him a couple of more times just to make sure he was dead 'cause I didn't wanna watch him die" [citation:1].Hubers claimed Poston was abusive, citing a toxic relationship. But prosecutors painted a different picture: a jealous, obsessed woman who couldn't accept that Poston was leaving her to go on a date with Miss Ohio 2012, Audrey Bolte [citation:5]. The prosecution presented "hundreds of thousands" of obsessive texts—for every one message Ryan sent, Shayna sent 50 [citation:1].A psychologist testified Hubers had borderline personality disorder and a "superior IQ," but concluded her mental state didn't impair her judgment [citation:2]. The jury rejected her self-defense claim.Hubers was convicted of murder in 2015 and sentenced to 40 years. The verdict was overturned due to a juror being a felon. In 2018, she was retried, convicted again, and sentenced to life in prison [citation:1][citation:5][citation:9].
