One tricky momma. 

Here's a good example of real life sounding just as intriguing as an imaginative crime-fiction novel:

From CNN:

NEW YORK (AP) -- Doreen Giuliano was obsessed with saving her son from a life behind bars after he was convicted of murder.

She gave herself an extreme makeover -- blonde dye job, fake tan, sexy wardrobe, phony name -- and began spying on jurors. She befriended one juror to root out any possible misdeeds at the trial, and for nearly eight months, they drank at bars, smoked marijuana and shared meals in her tiny Brooklyn hideaway.

The juror eventually opened up to her about his time as a juror, completely unaware that this seductive older woman was the same dutiful mother who sat through the entire trial just a few feet away from him.

Doesn't this sound like a great premise for a novel? If fact, it wouldn't surprise me if something like this has already been written. You can read the full article here.
