Shaun Gayle spent over 10 years in the NFL as he’s most known for his tenure with the Bears from 1984-1994. He won a Super Bowl with that dominant 85′ Bears team and finished his career with the Chargers in 1995. He endured tragedy in 2007 as his mistress Marni Yang, murdered his pregnant girlfriend, Rhoni Reuter.
Reuter was seven months pregnant as Gayle and Young were having relations. Yang ended up confessing to a friend that she shot Reuter six times and killed her. According to The Daily Mail though, Yang is now saying that she made up the confession because she was scared that police would charge her son for the murder. Young was convicted in 2011.
Prosecutors labeled Yang as obsessed and jealous as she wanted Reuter gone. Yang originally confessed to the murder during a recorded meeting with a friend that prosecutors played during the trial. Attorneys are now going along with her saying that she made up the confession. The reason for this is that Yang said her family had been bullied by police after they found out about her relations with Gayle.
Yang’s attorneys added that they have a phone call recording which went down the night before the confession where she told her dad that she was going to ‘concoct a story’ of guilt. They are now asking for a reversal of the conviction. The 29-page petition was filed yesterday with the Circuit Court of Lake County, Illinois.
