Lindsay Shiver Seeks Dismissal of Bahamas Murder Plot Case Over July 16 Jurisdiction Dispute

Summary
July 16, 2023 is now central to Lindsay Shiver’s defense, with her U.S. attorney saying independent evidence shows she was in the United States—not the Bahamas—when prosecutors say the conspiracy occurred.
That location dispute is being framed as a jurisdictional flaw, with attorney Craig Shirley arguing Bahamian prosecutors cannot pursue charges under their penal code if the alleged act happened outside the country.
Shiver, 36, has pleaded not guilty alongside Adrien Bethel and Faron Newbold Jr. to conspiracy to commit murder in a case tied to an alleged plot against her estranged husband, former Auburn football player Robert Shiver.
Bahamian police uncovered the case during a separate break-in investigation in Abaco in July 2023, when officers said they found WhatsApp messages on a suspect’s phone including Robert Shiver’s photo and the words “Kill him.”
