Scott Wayne Blystone is on death row for murdering a hitchhiker for $13 in gas money.
Now he's fighting for his share of the $1.9 million he says he accumulated after investing $150,000 of his wife's money.  Blystone, 44, an inmate at the Pennsylvania State Correctional Institution, met former massage therapist and police dispatcher Sharon Flora, 50, through a pen pal program. The two were married in a 1988 jailhouse ceremony.
Blystone filed for divorce last year, and Flora is now trying to take control of their finances, claiming Blystone married her for her money and has taken too many financial risks.
Blystone, who is appealing his conviction in the 1983 killing of Dalton Charles Smithburger Jr., makes 72 cents a day in prison pay and says his wife has cut off his $100 monthly allowances.
He is asking a judge to freeze their assets, saying he fears she will liquidate their holdings.
This year alone, Blystone claims, his investment savvy has brought in $450,000. He says he learned how to invest by reading financial magazines and The Wall Street Journal for 10 hours a day in his cell.
Flora claims in court documents that their assets total only $1.3 million and that Blystone's financial risk-taking has cost them plenty.
