Incarceration history

Biography

Nicole "Nikki" Addimando (born November 19, 1988) is an American woman who shot and killed her domestic partner in Poughkeepsie, New York, in September 2017. Originally sentenced to 19 years to life, Addimando's term of imprisonment was reduced on appeal to 7.5 years. Released in January 2024. She was incarcerated at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for Women. Addimando said that her partner, Christopher Grover, had beat and raped her for years, and she provided photographs and other materials she said documented this abuse. She further claimed that she shot Grover while he sat on their couch after he had threatened her with the gun. Grover's family disputed Addimando's abuse claims, and prosecutors argued that Grover had been shot while he was asleep. A medical examiner found no proof that Grover had been asleep when he was shot. Addimando was ultimately convicted of second degree murder and second degree criminal possession of a handgun.
