播音员:本集讲述了1937年缅因州南巴黎发生的利特菲尔德夫妇谋杀案,以及此案中保罗·德怀尔和弗朗西斯·卡罗尔两人之间错综复杂的关系和真相大白的过程。案件扑朔迷离,经过多次转折,最终弗朗西斯·卡罗尔被判犯有谋杀罪,而保罗·德怀尔在服刑多年后获释。本案中,证据的真伪、证词的可信度、以及司法程序的公正性都受到了质疑。 保罗·德怀尔:最初承认杀害利特菲尔德夫妇,后又翻供,声称自己是被弗朗西斯·卡罗尔胁迫的。他提供了关于卡罗尔性侵犯其女友的细节,以及卡罗尔如何策划并实施谋杀的描述。德怀尔在审判中表现出极大的矛盾和不稳定性,他的证词的可信度一直受到质疑。 弗朗西斯·卡罗尔:作为利特菲尔德夫妇谋杀案的真正凶手,卡罗尔利用其副警长的身份,胁迫德怀尔认罪,并操纵了审判过程。他最终被判犯有谋杀罪,但后来由于证据造假,其判决被推翻,获释。 利特菲尔德医生和利特菲尔德夫人:作为案件的受害者,他们的死因和案件的真相在很长一段时间内都扑朔迷离。他们的死给社区带来了巨大的悲痛,也引发了人们对案件背后真相的追寻。 警官:负责调查此案,收集证据,并对保罗·德怀尔和弗朗西斯·卡罗尔进行审问。他们的调查工作存在不足之处,例如证据的伪造和对证词的处理不当。 律师:代表保罗·德怀尔和弗朗西斯·卡罗尔,在审判过程中为他们辩护。他们利用法律程序的漏洞,试图为当事人争取利益,也暴露了司法系统中存在的缺陷。
