A Las Vegas jury on Friday night convicted Devyn Michaels of first-degree murder after deciding that the former porn star beat her on-and-off boyfriend/baby daddy to death and then decapitated him in August 2023.
If you donât think that was the most insane true sentence youâve ever read, the following will probably qualifyâŚ
Police believe that Michaels committed this heinous crime because she was jealous that her victim won custody of their two children earlier in 2023, and also so that she could live peacefully with her husband, Deviere Willette, who is also one of her victimâs children and her own stepson.
Told you.
Michaels married Deviere in 2021, when she was 43 and he was 25.
âAll I can say is, âBuckle up, because youâre in for a wild ride,ââ prosecutor John Giordani told the jury during the first day of testimony on November 5, according to ongoing coverage by KLAS-TV/Las Vegas.
Night of the Murder
On the night of August 6, 2023, police believe, Michaels bludgeoned Johnathan with a wooden stick at his Henderson, Nev. home, then cut off his head and drove it back to her Las Vegas neighborhood, where she tossed it in a trash receptacle.
Neither his head nor the murder weapon was ever found.
According to a police report obtained by KLAS, the victimâs mother found his headless corpse in his home doused with chemicals and smoking on August 7.
Michaels â in custody since her August 7, 2023 arrest â initially admitted to police bashing Johnathanâs head in, but said it was because he tried initiating unwanted sex while she rubbed his back in bed.
Deal or No Deal?
On September 17, 2024, Michaels copped to a plea deal for second-degree murder. Under the deal, she would have served 15 years to life, with parole eligibility after 15 years.
However, in an emotional outburst during her July 17, 2025 sentencing hearing, Michaels withdrew her plea, claiming that she could prove her innocence.
Michaelsâ defense attorney accused Deviere of committing the murder, alleging that he flew into a jealous rage after Michaels asked for a divorce so she could reconcile with his father.
The jury didnât buy it.
Michaels is scheduled to return to Clark County District Court for sentencing on January 8, 2026.
