Dorice 'Dee Dee' Moore made friends with £18 million ($30 million) lottery winner Abraham Shakespeare - then she murdered him.
Moore set up a business with Shakespeare after his big win in 2006, but went on to extort money from him before murdering him in cold blood.
She hid his body in her boyfriend's home under a concrete slab in a bid to get away with it and, even now, protests her innocence.
Now her story is being told in Channel 4's Women Who Kill documentary along with Celeste Beard - two 'black widow' killers.
Speaking in the documentary she claims: "I am not a manipulator-type person, I didn’t deserve this."
Still holded up in the Lowell Correctional Institute she adds: "I used to think that everybody that was in prison deserved to be here for whatever they were here for.
"And that we had a bunch of murderers that we needed to keep out of society... but I learned that there are a lot of people here for stupid reasons."
Moore says if the truth had really come out in the trial, she'd be free, but she was also known for causing court room drama with fits and full blown meltdowns.

Who was Abraham Shakespeare?
Shakespeare was a labourer in Sebring, Florida, when he won $30 million on the US lottery in 2006.
But instead of getting the annual payments of $1million he opted for a one-off sum of $17 million.
Inevitably perhaps, Shakespeare found people latched on to him after his haul. One of these people was Moore.
Shakespeare and Moore set up a business together after she sought him out. He was generous and shared his wealth, buying houses, cars and gifts for his neighbours.
In the months after his win his only big purchases were $1m home, a Nissan Altima and a Rolex watch.
Friend Greg Massey says the lottery winner "was overwhelmed with people" asking for gifts and eventually became "aggravated".
"Now you have somebody saying, 'I don't need you, I can help you'," Greg says. "It started with the BMW... Then the house, then his money."
Shakespeare was found under a slab of concrete
Moore told him she didn't need the money as a successful business woman but she could help him manage his finances.
She began to transfer his funds to her own account, change the deed on his house and even his BMW all to her own name.
She claimed these were gifts from Shakespeare. Moore also had bought herself a Hummer, a Chevrolet Corvette ad a truck all before going on a holiday.
Moore insists that she never needed Shakespeare's cash. "I had money, I didn't need money like this, I had plenty of money," she insists claiming he was worth more to her alive than dead.
In November 2009, family of Shakespeare's reported him missing. They hoped he had taken his money and was sunning himself on a beach somewhere, but that wasn't the case.
Moore ended up leading police to the body as part of a sting operation.
"Why would I lead them back there? Do I look that stupid?" Moore says.
She led police to Moore's boyfriend's back garden and there Shakespeare's body was found in five feet of dirt under a newly built concrete slab.
Shakespeare was 43 when he died.
In 2012 Moore was sentenced to life in prison without possibility for parole and an additional 35 years for possession of a gun in the course of a violent felony.
Moore's trial
In the trial Moore became known for her outbursts. She'd break down in tears and even went into anaphylactic shock, it was reported at the time.
While in custody she took the drug Bactrim when she had problems with cuts on her ankles from being cuffed every day.
Moore insisted she was not guilty saying: "I would not have killed a man in the only carpeted room in the house. Come on, I'm a woman."
Speaking about the trial she added: "In my case none of these facts came out. If those facts had come out, I wouldn’t have ever been convicted. I am not a manipulator type person, I didn’t deserve this."
In 2017, Moore tried to get a new trial claiming her former attorney Byron Hileman didn't allow her to testify during her original trial despite her wanting to.
She also said Shakespeare's friend Greg Smith had "tampered with the jury", according to Fox News.
There's no news of a new trial as of yet.
