Wrongfully convicted for more than 30 years.
Nikki was wrongfully convicted.
Nikki Zinger has been in prison in Arkansas for more than 30 years for a crime she did not commit. The victim, Linda Holley, was not only her mother, but her best friend. They were each other’s caretakers, as Nikki was born disabled and required surgeries her whole life, starting when she was born, and her mother had multiple bouts with cancer. The state argued she and Daniel murdered her mother to collect a $90K life insurance policy, but that simply did not happen. They also failed to investigate a possible connection to a very similar crime that happened just five days later and a few miles down the road.
