Who killed lottery winner Abraham Shakespeare? Convicted killer seeking trial now points finger at drug dealer

TAMPA, Fla. - There were wild accusations and a lot of tears from convicted killer Dee Dee Moore Wednesday afternoon while she was back in a Tampa courtroom seeking a new trial despite an appellate court upholding her conviction twice. 

Moore was convicted 10 years ago of killing lottery winner Abraham Shakespeare and stealing his millions.

But now she wants a new trial claiming her attorneys made mistakes.

"He put on no defense. Absolutely none. He was horrible," explained Moore.

After a 2012 trial, she was convicted for his murder. She even wrote a handwritten letter apologizing to Abraham’s family and the prosecutor for all the pain and anguish she caused. 

Dee Dee Moore wrote an apology note, but says she didn't kill Shakespeare. 

Yet, she denied being the real killer and instead, pointed the finger key witness Greg Smith, who testified at her trial.

He helped the police by secretly recording Moore admitting to the murders and the cover-up.

Moore says she has a witness who could back up your story. However, in a huge setback, Moore learned recently that witness had passed away.

In court Wednesday, the court learned there was a secret recording of this witness, before she died, describing police corruption and kickbacks by the real killer, who Moore now says is a drug dealer.

"They’re being paid under the table because cocaine dealers can afford it a lot," claimed Moore.

While Moore has changed her story of who killed Shakespeare, the judge will focus on errors her attorney made that could have harmed her chance at a fair trial.

Later, the prosecution called Moore’s former attorney Christopher Bolt. He denied doing anything wrong and said he and his partner did everything by the book.

Tampa Judge Michelle Sisco is set to rule next month.
