"WILMINGTON, Del. -- The long-ago first husband of former first lady Jill Biden pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges he killed his current wife in Delaware. William Stevenson, 77, was married to Jill Biden from 1970 to 1975. A state grand jury this month charged Stevenson with killing Linda Stevenson, 64, who was found unresponsive at their home in Wilmington on Dec. 28. He has remained in custody since he was charged Feb. 3 with murder, unable to post the $2 million bail. Stevenson appeared at Tuesday's court hearing in Wilmington on a remote video camera. His lawyer, a public defender, did not immediately return messages seeking comment. His next court hearing is set for March 16."
"Linda Stevenson ran a bookkeeping business and was described in her obituary as a family-oriented mother and grandmother and a Philadelphia Eagles fan. The obituary does not mention her husband. "One hug from her and all your worries would disappear," her daughter, Christine Mae, wrote in a Facebook post. "The pain of losing her is paralyzing and the emptiness in my heart is an abyss.""
