A women who pleaded guilty in the 1990 murder of her husband's previous wife in Florida has been released from prison.
Sheila Keen-Warren, 61, spent 18 months in prison over her involvement in the infamous "killer clown" case.
Last year, Keen-Warren agreed to plead guilty to second degree murder charges. Authorities said she shot Marlene Warren while dressed up in a clown costume more than 30 years ago.
After years of mystery and intrigue surrounding the killing, investigators tied Keen-Warren to the case and arrested her in 2017, though she maintains her innocence.
Keen-Warren was sentenced to 12 years in prison in 2023.

18 MONTHS in prison for murder. A year and a half.... That seem light to you?
I should have given a little context, it’s kind of complicated.
This happened in the 90s and she’s been in prison for years.
The 18 months is from when she finally plead guilty.
When this happened the state had a liberal “gain time” policy so her time already served counts towards her sentence.
Clear as mud right? 😁
And BTW.....after the killing, she went on to marry the husband of the woman she killed.......wrap your head around that one.
Sentenced to prison for what “all this time”?
She was tried and sentenced for the murder she just maintained her innocence.
She finally admitted her guilt a year and a half ago as part of a plea deal.
Huh? She was convicted of the murder. Why would the prosecutors then put a plea deal on the table? The plea deal is offered BEFORE any conviction, not after. Nonsense
The authorities wanted a confession.
Why?
I misspoke about her being convicted.
“Long suspected of being the shooter, Keen-Warren has been jailed awaiting trial for first-degree murder since 2017, when Palm Beach County sheriff’s investigators said improvements in DNA technology proved that a hair found in the clown’s getaway car came from her.”
This article explains it better than I could.
I wonder how many coulrophobiacs will have insomnia for weeks.
I remember how a rap star with severe coulrophobia actually had a contract prohibiting people dressed as clowns in his audience. He lost his marbles when on the night of the show he was double billed with the Insane Clown Posse.
I don’t know how long you’ve been waiting to weave that phobia into a conversation, but I’m glad I could help. 😁
