The DOJ accused her of used fake email accounts to convince Lopez that her husband was being physically and sexually abusive, using false claims and stock photos. 

Dallas police said Lopez killed Jamie in October 2020 as he and Jennifer walked their dog.

The indictment also said Jennifer used GoFundMe money to pay for things like a TV for Lopez.

She faces life in prison and possibly the death penalty.

Lopez faces 10 years in prison for murder.
