Pittsburgh dentist has a years-long affair with his dental hygienist, culminating in murdering his wife on safari in Zambia while staging it to look like suicide. (He can't watch the multitude of documentaries, given his forever-prison sentence, but you can.) As for his paramour, she was convicted of two counts of perjury, among other things, stemming from her testimony to the grand jury investigating the dentist, and is now serving a 17-year sentence. Tenth Circuit: One of the perjury counts has to go: she couldn't and didn't speculate as to the dentist's motives for his generosity, which can't be perjury. Maybe he gave her money for fear of a costly divorce, damage to his reputation, adoration for her children, or another reason. But all the other convictions are solid. Partial dissent: I'd toss the other perjury conviction, too.
The case is United States v. Milliron, 23-1217 (10th Cir. June 23, 2026).
