Dr. Eric Scott Sills was convicted of second-degree murder Tuesday after prosecutors argued he had strangled wife Susann Sills and then staged her death as an accident. Eric Scott Sills and his wife, Susann, ran a fertility clinic in Carlsbad, he as medical director and she as managing partner. Jennifer Walker told jurors. His attorney, Jack Earley, sought to persuade jurors there was an alternate explanation for Susann Sills' death. Another source of discord, the prosecutor argued, was his apparent chagrin that she had posted a topless photo of herself online after losing a bet.
