The lawyer for the famous runaway convict and convicted murderer Laurie “Bambi” Bembenek is asking Governor Evers for a pardon.
Bembenek insisted up until her death in 2010 that she didn’t kill the ex-wife of her husband in 1982.
Bembenek was a Milwaukee police officer, and a former Playboy club hostess. She escaped from a state prison in 1990 and was on the run, before she was caught in Canada.
She was released on parole in 1992, after her original conviction was thrown out. She agreed to plead no contest to second-degree murder.
