Gypsy Rose Blanchard's Journey: From Munchausen by Proxy to Murder Appeal and Life Beyond

Nicholas Godejohn, the ex-boyfriend of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, has filed a new appeal over his first-degree murder conviction for the 2015 killing of Gypsy's mother, Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard. Godejohn, who is serving a life sentence without parole, claims his previous counsel failed to properly investigate and present evidence regarding his Autism Spectrum Disorder to support a diminished capacity defense. His public defender argues that the jury should have only found him guilty of second-degree murder due to his mental state. Meanwhile, Gypsy Rose Blanchard was released early from prison after serving seven years of a 10-year sentence and has since married and started a new life.
