52-year-old,
Emma Raine, who is married to three men on separate occasions has been
arraigned before a court in New Orleans for allegedly been the prime
suspect in the death of the three men.
Emma Raine’s
first husband, Leroy Evans, who died while hospitalized in 1994 after
having been hit by a car was the first charge against Ms Raine.
However, in
2013 Raine was arrested for the murder of her second husband, Ernest
Smith, 38, who died outside his New Orleans home in the spring of 2006.
By the time
Emma Smith was arrested in that case in 2013, she had a new name, Emma
Raine, and was, again, a widow. Her third husband, James Raine, 37, was
shot to death at the couple’s Pearl River County, Mississippi, home in
2011.
Emma Raine has
pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the death of Ernest Smith.
Jury selection began Tuesday and opening statements could begin
Wednesday in New Orleans.
Conviction would mean a mandatory life sentence for her.
