Eddy claimed she acted in self-defense after catching Kennedy masturbating in her tent, though she told police she sat on him from outside and later admitted to strangling him. The body was discovered days later, sparking a swift jury verdict. Now 51, Eddy faces sentencing on December fifteenth, as this case exposes the brutal intersection of homelessness, addiction, and deadly confrontation.
