Courtney Clenney, a 29-year-old OnlyFans model, is facing trial for the alleged murder of her boyfriend, Christian Obumseli, who was fatally stabbed in their Miami condominium on April 3, 2022. Clenney has been in custody since August 2022, following her arrest in Hawaii four months after the incident. Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Andrea Ricker Wolfson has scheduled the trial to begin on April 27, 2026, after previous delays due to the withdrawal of the lead prosecutor and claims of misconduct.

The relationship between Clenney and Obumseli has been described as tumultuous, with defense attorneys arguing that Clenney acted in self-defense. Prosecutor Shawn Abuhoff anticipates that the trial will last less than two weeks. Clenney's legal team has sought her release from jail, asserting that she is not a flight risk and could be placed under house arrest in Texas, where her family resides. They argue that Clenney has been seeking treatment for PTSD and substance abuse since the incident.

Defense attorney Frank Prieto has indicated that Clenney's financial circumstances have changed significantly, claiming she is now financially strained. He also contends that Clenney's actions were a response to a history of domestic abuse, suggesting that she may be a victim of battered women's syndrome. Clenney reportedly called 911 immediately after the incident, which her defense argues supports a charge of manslaughter rather than second-degree murder.

Conversely, prosecutors have raised concerns about Clenney's financial situation, noting that she has previously transferred funds to her father and has the potential to earn significant income if released. They emphasize the seriousness of the charges she faces, which could result in a life sentence if convicted. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for January 20, 2026.
