Andrea Canning: 本周我们关注一名女性在25年后因谋杀前夫及其女友而受审的案件，上周她交叉询问了自己的孩子，场面非常尴尬。 Sergey Ivonin: 检察官的理论是Dana Chandler在谋杀案发生时有27小时的行踪不明，她的行为变得越来越偏执，经常出现在前夫和其女友的餐厅。Dana Chandler坚称自己无罪，案发时她在丹佛。 Dana Chandler: 我坚称自己无罪，虽然离婚后存在一些不愉快，但这并不意味着我是凶手。我与女儿的AOL聊天记录是在我酗酒的情况下产生的，我对此感到非常抱歉和尴尬。 Haley: 我与母亲的AOL聊天记录让我非常不舒服，她不断地提起我父亲强奸她的指控，我多次请求她停止，但她没有理会。 Dustin: 我曾试图让我母亲承认罪行，并在车内录下了我们的谈话。
