Michael Colucci was accused of killing his wife in 2015. But a hung jury, after a long and tangled trial in late 2018, meant the South Carolina jeweler was set free on bond after the judge declared a mistrial. Now, with prosecutors licking their wounds and determined to put him behind bars, Michael is preparing to face another jury.

Michael’s wife, Sara Moore-Colucci, died on May 20, 2015. First responders found her cold on the cement near the warehouse where the couple ran a gold-buying business near Summerville, about a 35-minute drive from Charleston. The 38-year-old mother’s face was blue, her neck was wounded, and her knees and feet were scraped.
