(AP) A widow hugged her lawyer and burst into tears yesterday af- ‘ ter being acquitted of charges that she beat her husband to death with a baseball bat to collect $400,000 in insurance money. Jeanie Adair, 39, was found in nocent by a Superior Court jury after 12 hours of deliberation. “I still miss my husband,” Adair said outside the courtroom. ‘‘I don’t feel 1 can really cele brate. The people who did this to my husband are still out there, and not until they are behind bars and charged with his murder will I be happy.” Margarita Ruffino-Sutcliffe, moth er of victim Robert Adair, called the trial a “mockery of justice.” “I know in my heart she killed my son,’’ she said. Adair was arrested two years after the Nov. 5, 1996 killing and charged with first-degree murder with special circumstanc.es of ly ing in wait 3nd murder foj* finan-< cial gain. If convicted, she would have faced a possible sentence of life in prison without parole. Authorities alleged she staged a crime scene to back her story that a man posing as a gas-com pany worker forced his way into her Sylmar condominium, bound and beat her and looted the home before killing Adair when he re turned home for lunch. The prosecution argued Adair gave inconsistent accounts of the attack to friends and police and that she made three telephone calls during the time she suppos edly was gagged and hog-tied. A cable television-company worker testified about seeing a man in an outdated gas company uniform at the Adair condomini um complex the day of the killing. killing shop clmit. RICHMOND. Va.
