In September 1986, 34-year-old Douglas Dilosa was found bound with rope in his Jefferson Parish, LA home. His wife was found strangled upstairs. Dilosa, who is white, told police that he was awakened by a noise, and when he went downstairs to investigate, he was beaten and bound by two black men. Police suspected that Dilosa, who was in financial trouble, had murdered his wife for the insurance money. A jury convicted Dilosa of second-degree murder and he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
