BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - Police say a 23-year-old Connecticut woman charged with murder claims the victim raped her months before he was shot to death in Bridgeport, but his family calls her a liar.
Former Stratford resident Jessica Nichols was ordered held in lieu of $1 million bail during her arraignment Monday in Bridgeport Superior Court. Her case was continued to Aug. 31.
Police say Daron Green's bleeding body was found on a city street June 22, moments after witnesses say he got out of car driven by a woman. Police charged Nichols in the killing on Friday after obtaining an arrest warrant.
Authorities say Nichols accused Green of breaking into her home in February and sexually assaulting her. But Green's niece, Marquesha McIntosh, says Nichols is lying and her uncle wasn't a rapist.
