According to the Miami Herald, Hawaii police arrested OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney for the murder of her boyfriend, Christian Obumseli, who was fatally stabbed. According to CBS News, the prosecution has provided numerous pieces of evidence to support the charges leveled against Courtney Clenney, including a video of the alleged incident in which she is seen pushing and striking Obumseli in an elevator.
According to the article, The Onlyfans model was being held at East Hawaii Detention Center for treatment for substance addiction and mental evaluation following the stabbing of Obumseli. According to Hawaii Police, she was detained on the basis of an arrest warrant issued by Miami-Dade County, Florida for second-degree murder with a dangerous weapon. According to Clenney’s lawyer, she was astonished by the arrest and maintains that the stabbing was done in self-defense.
“We look forward to clearing her name in court,” Frank Prieto told the Florida reporters.
People inferred from public rumors that Courtney Clenney was a violent partner and as such responsible for the murder. By presenting evidence they want to utilize to establish Clenney’s guilt, the prosecution supported this theory.
Prosecutor’s evidence from CBS News states:
It includes crime scene photos, the murder weapon, and the timeline before and after she stabbed Obumseli.
Prosecutors also want to introduce an elevator video that shows Clenney and Obumseli two months before his death. Video from a building elevator in February 2022 appeared to show Clenney shoving and hitting Obumseli. According to the arrest warrant, she had also been charged with domestic battery against Obumseli in a hotel in Las Vegas in July 2021.
Clenney’s attorney, Frank Prieto, asked the judge to limit the amount of evidence because said her case has gained so much publicity that releasing any more evidence could make jury selection a complicated process.
According to Obumseli’s brother, if she had been a Black lady, she would have received her sentence sooner.
“The bottom line is inextricably clear: Courtney is being treated differently because of her privilege as a wealthy White woman. Within 24 hours following Toby’s death, the detective on the case prematurely concluded this was not a crime of violence,” Jeffrey said via Instagram. Obumseli’s family also expressed their concerns of racial bias in a press conference following the incident.
