Topics
Ron Dersh: 作为检察官,我三次审理 Jerry Jones 案,这已经占据了我职业生涯的17年。我对上诉法院的判决感到愤怒和痛苦,但我决心为 Lee Jones 伸张正义。我认为 Jerry Jones 就是凶手,他编造的故事漏洞百出,我将尽我所能确保他不会逍遥法外。 Joe Ward: 作为调查员,我认为 Jerry Jones 的故事令人难以置信,他就是谋杀嫌疑人。现场缺乏入侵者的证据,而 Jerry 的行为和证词存在诸多疑点。第一次获得有罪判决时,我感到非常欣慰。 Kim Jones & Beth Jones: 我们坚信我们的父亲是无辜的,他是一个非常平和的人,不可能做出这种事。我们一直在努力证明他的清白,并相信他最终会获得自由。 Jerry Jones: 我没有谋杀我的妻子,检察官无法证明我做了这件事。我爱我的妻子,如果我能让她回来,我愿意付出一切。我认为丹尼·巴斯比才是真正的凶手,我将尽我所能证明这一点。 Mara Rosano: 我丈夫 Ron Dersh 决心为 Lee Jones 伸张正义,这个案子对他影响很大。他不会轻易放弃,即使他已经厌倦了这个案子。 Barbara Sleeper & Mary McNaughton: 作为 Lee 的朋友,我们认为她被谋杀前正在寻找出路,Jerry Jones 不可能是无辜的。 Graham Smith: 作为邻居,我记得 Jerry Jones 告诉我他在看电视时被打中了头部,醒来后发现 Lee 浑身是血,这与他告诉警察的故事不同。 Pam O'Keefe: 作为丹尼·巴斯比的母亲,我认为杰里·琼斯毁掉了太多的生命,他应该为他所做的一切付出代价。我希望他余生都会为他所做的事情感到后悔。 法医科学家: 基于现场证据,我认为 Jerry Jones 在某个时候坐在 Lee Jones 身上,把她按住,一边坐在她身上,一边刺她。 陪审员: 我们仔细检查了每一件证据,发现 Jerry Jones 的故事有很多不一致的地方,他的行为和情绪似乎都是计划好的。我们不相信他,我们认为他就是凶手。
