Unforgotten Casebook — One case. Every angle. One place.1993 · Middle River / Baltimore County, Maryland
The Maryland case behind Double Jeopardy (1996)
Gina Marie Nueslein, 22, was found shot to death in Gunpowder State Park in January 1993. Baltimore police sergeant James Allen Kulbicki, with whom she had a child, was convicted of her murder at a 1995 retrial. Later proceedings challenged the forensic evidence: in 2020, a Maryland appellate court directed that a writ of actual innocence be issued and the case returned for further proceedings.
