Devyn Michaels, a 45‑year‑old former adult‑film star, is on trial in Henderson, Nevada, for the murder of Johnathan Willette, 47. Prosecutors said Michaels beheaded Willette after she convinced him to give her a wooden stick. The head was found missing, and witnesses claim she drove to Las Vegas with it, discarding it in a trash bin.
Michaels had married Willette’s son, Deviere, which made Willette her new father‑in‑law. According to the prosecution, she wanted the family to be “happy” without Willette, who she said “putting his hand on her” in a compromising situation. The plea deal she secured last fall was withdrawn, and the case is now being decided by a jury.
Defense attorney Robert Draskovich argues that Deviere was the real aggressor, accusing his son of attacking Willette after Michaels asked for a divorce. He claims Deviere could no longer stay with his dad and that the conflict spawned the tragedy.
The trial began Wednesday with prosecutors presenting graphic evidence and claiming Michaels was a “cold‑blooded killer.” No head or murder weapon has been recovered or identified. The case draws attention to the dangerous intersection of celebrity, family drama, and violence in Nevada.
