Episode 35 Pt. 2: The Lightbulb - Henry Wachtel

Henry's defense was that, although his body killed his mother, he had not. He was pretty sure this meant he wouldn't go to prison...and he was right! But that didn't mean freedom for him. It meant treatment. According to his treatment providers, he was more interested in looking good for court than getting any treatment. Could Henry convince the Courts he'd changed? Listen now!

Episode 34 Pt. 2: An Exceedingly Imperfect Crime - Richard Merritt

They say he was an attorney - but he wasn't a very good one. They say he was a father - but he wasn't great at that either. They say he was a husband - but his ex-wife says he destroyed their lives. The only person willing to ignore all of his indiscretions was his mother, Shirley, and yet he killed her. He thought he could commit the perfect crime and run away from all of his troubles. But he wasn't good at that either.
