George Conviction
Posted November 29th, 2005 by Chip Bok
My dictionairy shows two definitions for "complicity": 1. being an accomplice 2. (Rare) complexity. Both applied to Akron beauty queen Cynthia George. She was convicted of complicity in the 2001 execution style murder of her secret lover, Jeff Zack. The actual shooting was performed by her other secret lover, John Zaffino. Mrs. George's husband, prominent local restaurant owner, Ed George, stood by her throughout the trial. Three of her 7 children, including Zack's daughter, watched as she was sentenced to life in prison.
There was no smoking gun. Cindy George was convicted mostly on circumstantial cell phone call records.
