Colucci’s Silence in Civil Trial | Charleston News

Michael Colucci, accused of killing his wife Sara Lynn, is now facing a civil wrongful death lawsuit that’s been dragging on for nearly 10 years. During a recent deposition, he invoked his Fifth Amendment right and refused to answer questions from Sara’s mother’s legal team — a move her attorneys say should weigh heavily against him in court. The civil case argues the withheld evidence from the criminal trial doesn’t erase the core claim: Colucci was the only person with Sara when she died, and their marriage was reportedly crumbling, with her planning to file for divorce. A criminal charge against him was dismissed last year over prosecutorial misconduct — and the state hasn’t refiled it. Now, Moore’s team is pushing for swift trial, insisting justice must be served in this civil matter.
