STANDISH – Cumberland County Superior Court Justice Joyce Wheeler has rejected former Standish resident Linda Dolloff’s request that the court overturn her guilty verdict.

A jury convicted Dolloff May 22 of trying to murder her husband, Jeffrey Dolloff, at their home off Oak Hill Road in Standish. She has been in custody since her conviction. Sentencing has been set for Friday, Jan. 7, at 1 p.m.

The former yoga instructor, whose story was featured in an ABC News “20/20” report in July, was convicted of attempted murder, elevated aggravated assault and false public alarm stemming from the spring 2009 incident. She could face 30 years in prison.

Dolloff, through her attorney Daniel Lilley, has maintained her innocence, claiming an intruder clubbed her husband with a softball bat, shot her at point-blank range and ran out a back door before police arrived, a story the jury and now a judge hasn’t bought.

In her 24-page decision rejecting Dolloff’s request for acquittal, Wheeler found the jury’s conclusions reasonable. She devoted several pages detailing each of the incidents that could have led a reasonable person to conclude Dolloff’s guilt, concluding that the evidence against Dolloff was “ample.”

Those conclusions include the plausible motive that Dolloff was distraught over her husband’s growing insistence on a divorce and an impending visit from a woman in whom Jeffrey Dolloff had expressed a romantic interest. Wheeler also listed as “reasonable” the notion that an intruder probably would have taken $1,500 that was stashed near the gun used to shoot Linda Dolloff or a wallet that was located near the bed in which Jeffrey Dolloff was attacked.

The judge also mentioned as reasonable conclusions the location of Linda Dolloff’s bullet wound far from vital organs or her spinal cord, the use of a softball bat that had sentimental value to Jeffrey Dolloff rather than more accessible bats, and the discovery of Linda Dolloff’s DNA on both the bat and gun used.

Wheeler also disagreed with Dolloff’s claim that she was not provided with a fair and impartial trial due to the “cumulative effect of highly prejudicial errors.”

Lilley did not return phone calls seeking comment.
