The man charged for the torture and murder of his Singapore-born porn actress girlfriend has been acquitted.
31-year-old Felicia Lee, who was known by her stage name Felica Tang, was found beaten and suffocated in her apartment in Monrovia, southern California, in Sept 11, 2009.
According to online news sources, 45-year-old Brian Lee Randone, had called 911 to report that his girlfriend was unconscious. He was detained since her death and released after the verdict.
The defence argued that she had suffered from a drug overdose, and the wounds were caused when she had a seizure after taking the drug.
Ms Lee was born on Oct 22, 1977 and raised in Singapore. She later attended a private Catholic girls' school for two years after moving to Perth, Australia.
Her family then moved to Los Angeles, California, when she was 13.
She started modelling for fashion catalogues and bikini calendars when she was a 19-year-old student studying marketing and business administration in college.
She appeared in various adult shows and erotic movies. She also starred in import car videos.
Ms Lee played minor roles in movies such as Rush Hour 2, Cradle 2 The Grave and The Fast And The Furious.
Mr Randone was a former preacher who once starred in a Fox reality television show called The Sexiest Bachelor In America.
