Jill Biden’s ex-husband William Stevenson has been indicted for the first-degree murder of his current wife — and now a prominent conservative commentator is raising serious questions about how the case is being handled.

Story Snapshot

William Stevenson, 77, was indicted by a New Castle County grand jury for the first-degree murder of his wife, Linda Stevenson, 64.
Police responded to a reported domestic dispute at the Wilmington, Delaware home on December 28, where they found Linda Stevenson unresponsive.
Stevenson remains held after failing to post bail, which was set at $500,000 at arrest and later raised to $2 million cash.
Newsmax host Greg Kelly has publicly questioned the case, calling it “rotten” and suggesting the proceedings lack transparency.

Grand Jury Indictment Follows Weeks-Long Investigation

A New Castle County grand jury indicted William Stevenson, 77, on first-degree murder charges, alleging he “did intentionally cause the death” of his wife, Linda Stevenson, 64. Delaware police announced the arrest following what they described as an extensive weeks-long investigation. The case stems from a reported domestic dispute at the couple’s Wilmington home on December 28, when officers arrived and found Linda Stevenson unresponsive in the living room.

Stevenson, who was briefly married to Jill Biden in the early 1970s before their divorce roughly five decades ago, has no known public connection to the former first lady at this time. The Biden link has drawn national media attention to what would otherwise be a local Delaware homicide case. Stevenson failed to post $500,000 bail following his arrest and remains jailed, with bail later raised to $2 million cash.

Conservative Commentator Calls Case “Rotten”

Newsmax host Greg Kelly publicly challenged the handling of the Stevenson case, calling it “rotten” and raising concerns about what he characterized as a lack of transparency surrounding the proceedings. Kelly’s skepticism reflects a broader wariness among conservatives toward high-profile prosecutions that appear to generate more headlines than disclosed evidence. The case has drawn scrutiny partly because key details of the evidentiary basis have not been made public.

The WHYY public radio station in Philadelphia reported that the case has been notably “shrouded in secrecy,” with limited information released by prosecutors and law enforcement. While a grand jury indictment establishes probable cause to move forward with charges, it does not constitute proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. That distinction matters — and it is one the media coverage of this case has not always made clear to the public.

What the Evidence Shows — and What It Doesn’t

Prosecutors allege Stevenson intentionally killed Linda during a domestic dispute, and the formal indictment carries significant legal weight. However, no forensic reports, witness statements, or detailed case filings have been made publicly available to support or challenge that allegation. The pattern of responding to a domestic disturbance call and later upgrading charges to homicide after forensic review is common in fatal intimate-partner cases, but the public record here remains thin.

Stevenson has not entered a public plea, and no defense attorney statements have been widely reported. Conservative audiences rightly understand that high-profile defendants — regardless of their connections — deserve due process, and that media coverage driven by celebrity association rather than evidence is a disservice to justice. The facts of what happened on December 28 in Wilmington will ultimately be determined in a courtroom, not in headlines tied to a former first lady’s name.
