SEAN SHANNON FINNEGAN | Man Who Tortured Woman to Death, Pausing for Smoke Breaks, Before Stowing Body in Freezer Is Sentenced to Death | Autographed Letter Signed
LongfellowSerenade 67
Sean Finnegan, a 56-year-old man from Clinton, Tennessee, was convicted of Jennifer Paxton's violent rape and murder in December 2019. Finnegan and his girlfriend Rebecca Dishman duped Paxton into visiting their home, where she was subjected to extreme physical assault, including being attacked with a baseball bat and then raped. The couple bound Paxton to a bed before strangling her to death. Paxton's body was recovered on August 5, 2020, after authorities began an investigation into her disappearance. Finnegan attempted to hide the evidence by placing her decomposing remains in a freezer and under his bed. During the penalty phase of Finnegan's trial, the jury unanimously recommended his death sentence. He has since been condemned to death by lethal injection, but executions in Tennessee have been halted since 2022 owing to unresolved legal issues with lethal injection techniques. Legal experts believe that even if appeals are unsuccessful, it may be decades before an execution occurs due to the extensive legal processes associated with death sentence cases.

Overview of Sean Finnegan’s Case
Sean Finnegan, a 56-year-old man from Clinton, Tennessee, was convicted for the brutal rape and murder of Jennifer Gail Dinwiddie Paxton in December 2019. She was a homeless drug addict who sold her body to make money. The case has drawn significant media attention due to the heinous nature of the crimes and the subsequent legal proceedings.
Crimes Committed
Finnegan was found guilty of multiple charges including:
First-degree murder
Aggravated rape
Aggravated kidnapping
Abuse of a corpse
Tampering with evidence
The details surrounding the crime reveal that Finnegan, along with his girlfriend Rebecca Dishman, lured Paxton to their home under false pretenses. Once there, they subjected her to severe physical violence, including being attacked with a baseball bat and subsequently raped. The couple shackled Paxton to a bed before ultimately strangling her to death. Paxton's body was kept in a freezer in Finnegan's bedroom for approximately eight months after he killed her. He viewed her corpse for sexual pleasure.
Discovery of the Body
Paxton’s body was discovered on August 5, 2020, after police conducted an investigation into her disappearance. It was revealed that Finnegan had attempted to conceal the evidence by hiding Paxton’s decomposing body in a freezer and later under his bed when he learned that law enforcement was coming to search his residence. The condition of her body indicated extreme abuse; parts were removed and bones were broken in an effort to fit her remains into the freezer.
Trial Proceedings
The trial included extensive testimony from various witnesses, including forensic experts who provided evidence linking Finnegan to the crime scene through DNA found in the freezer. Dishman testified against Finnegan as part of a plea deal where she accepted a life sentence in exchange for her cooperation.
After deliberating for over 11 hours, the jury unanimously recommended the death penalty for Finnegan during the penalty phase of his trial. The judge imposed this sentence immediately following the jury’s recommendation.
Sentencing and Future Implications
Finnegan is now sentenced to death by lethal injection; however, it is important to note that executions in Tennessee have been paused since 2022 due to ongoing legal challenges regarding lethal injection protocols. Legal experts suggest that even if appeals are unsuccessful, it could take decades before any execution occurs due to lengthy legal processes associated with death penalty cases.
In addition to his conviction for Paxton’s murder, Finnegan faces separate charges related to alleged sexual abuse involving a child aged three years or younger.
Conclusion
Sean Finnegan’s case highlights significant issues surrounding violent crime, legal proceedings related to capital punishment, and societal responses to heinous acts. His conviction serves as a reminder of both the complexities involved in such cases and the potential for lengthy appeals processes that can delay justice.
