An attorney for a San Francisco Bay Area heiress acquitted of killing the father of her children says his client plans to travel and reconnect with her kids.
Tiffany Li was found not guilty Friday in the 2016 death of 27-year-old Keith Green.
The case drew global attention when Li’s family, who made a fortune in real estate construction in China, posted $35 million bail for her.
Attorney Geoffrey Carr bristled at a question tying Li’s immense wealth to a strong legal defense team.
He said the team of three attorneys and four investigators would have worked just as diligently had they been appointed by a judge for an indigent person.
