In 2012, attorney Ryan Carter Poston was shot to death by his
girlfriend Shayna Michelle Hubers. Hubers was convicted of murder in
2015 and sentenced to 40 years in the Kentucky Department of
Corrections. Her conviction was overturned on appeal in 2016, and in
2018, she was sentenced to life imprisonment with parole eligibility
after 20 years. Poston had a volatile relationship with Hubers, who
allegedly killed Poston in self-defense. Hubers was arrested and held
on a $5 million bond.
Shayna Hubers was found guilty of
murdering her boyfriend, Poston, in 2015, based on text message
evidence and domestic abuse claims. Hubers' attorneys argued for a
new trial, arguing that she was not allowed to present evidence that
would have shown her killed Poston in self-defense. After four
months, Hubers was sentenced to 40 years in prison with parole
eligibility after 20 years. In her second trial, she gave lurid
details of her sexual relationship with Poston, and was found guilty
again. She was sentenced to life imprisonment with the possibility of
parole. Poston's murder has been featured on several television
programs.
I don’t know if anyone will want to marry me if they heard that I killed my boyfriend in self-defense.

Background Information
Shayna Michelle Hubers is known for her involvement in the murder of her on-again-off-again boyfriend, Ryan Poston. The incident occurred on October 12, 2012, in Highland Heights, Kentucky. Hubers was born in 1991 and was a psychology student at the University of Kentucky at the time of the murder. She met Poston through Facebook in 2011, and their relationship was characterized by volatility, with multiple breakups over an 18-month period.
The Murder Incident
On the night of the murder, Hubers shot Poston six times. After the shooting, she called 911 to report that she had killed him in self-defense, claiming that he had been abusive towards her. However, police found no evidence of violence at the scene that would corroborate her claims of abuse. During her interrogation, Hubers exhibited unusual behavior; she made several statements that suggested a lack of remorse and even referenced giving Poston “the nose job he always wanted” by shooting him in the face.
Legal Proceedings
Hubers was indicted for murder on December 20, 2012. Her first trial began in April 2015 and resulted in a conviction for first-degree murder. However, this conviction was overturned on appeal due to a juror’s undisclosed felony conviction. In August 2018, during her retrial, she was again convicted of murder and subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment with eligibility for parole after 20 years.
Current Status
As of now, Shayna Hubers is serving her sentence at the Kentucky Correctional Institution for Women. Her case has garnered significant media attention and has been featured in various crime documentaries and television shows discussing psychological aspects related to violent crimes.
