In the 2008 murder case of Ben Oxley in Minden, Nevada, a key development was the involvement of his ex-wife, Dawn Oxley. Initially, the focus was on James Matlean, Ben's former friend, who was charged with the murder. As the investigation progressed, Dawn's role in planning the crime was uncovered. In a pivotal turn, Dawn received immunity for her testimony against Matlean, providing essential details about the murder's planning and execution, possibly linked to a custody dispute. This immunity grant, sparing her from charges despite her involvement, sparked controversy and highlighted the complexities of legal strategies in criminal cases.
