Defense Team For Minnesota Man Accused Of Realtor Murder Files Unexpected Motion Hoping To Block A Looming Mandatory State Life Sentence

A Minnesota man has been found guilty for a second time in a notorious kidnapping and murder case involving real estate agent Monique Baugh, which transpired over five years ago. After nearly a month-long retrial, 40-year-old Lyndon Wiggins was convicted on multiple counts, including aiding and abetting first-degree murder and kidnapping.Wiggins’ involvement traces back to Baugh's abduction on New Year’s Eve 2019, connected to a vendetta against her boyfriend, rapper Jon Mitchell-Momoh. Prosecutors assert that Wiggins, alongside three associates, deceived Baugh into coming for a home showing, where she was subsequently kidnapped and killed.Despite his conviction, Wiggins is seeking a third trial following a prior reversal by the Minnesota Supreme Court due to erroneous jury instructions. His sentencing, initially set for November 13, has been postponed as his defense seeks new legal grounds. Baugh’s family expresses outrage over the protracted legal maneuvers, particularly regarding the implications for Baugh’s tragic loss.
