播音员:本案发生在2007年6月14日凌晨,伊利诺伊州一男子报警称自己中枪,警方在附近发现其妻子和三个孩子均被枪杀身亡。克里斯托弗·沃恩作为唯一的幸存者,其证词前后矛盾,引发了警方的怀疑。案件中涉及大量的血迹证据,以及证人证词,这些都成为了法庭审判的关键。最终,克里斯托弗·沃恩被判处四项连续终身监禁,但他始终坚称自己无罪,并通过新的律师团队寻求推翻定罪。 检方:检方认为克里斯托弗·沃恩杀害了他的家人,并伪造了现场,试图使其看起来像一起谋杀自杀案。他们提供了大量的证据,包括血迹证据、弹道分析、证人证词等,来证明克里斯托弗·沃恩是凶手。他们认为克里斯托弗·沃恩的动机是为了摆脱家庭生活,去加拿大过一种新的生活。 辩方:辩方认为克里斯托弗·沃恩的妻子金伯利是凶手,并提供了金伯利的精神状态、服用的药物以及与克里斯托弗·沃恩之间关系紧张的证据,试图证明金伯利有自杀倾向,并可能因此杀害了家人。他们还对血迹证据的解释提出了质疑,认为这些证据并不能完全排除金伯利是凶手的可能性。 证人:多位证人出庭作证,包括法医、枪击现场重建专家、血迹证据分析专家、克里斯托弗·沃恩的朋友和金伯利的医生等。他们的证词对案件的走向产生了重要的影响,也为检方和辩方提供了支持性的证据。一些证人证词支持检方说法,一些证词则支持辩方说法,这使得案件的真相更加扑朔迷离。

Shownotes Transcript

#105 - One early morning in June 2007, the Vaughn family left their home to drive to a water park in Springfield, Illinois. At 5:15 am, a motorist driving on I-55 spotted Christopher Vaughn bleeding and limping away with his parked SUV. When the motorist asked if he had been in a car accident, Christopher replied, "No, I think my wife shot me."

But when the police arrived on the scene, not everything about Christopher's story added up. And once crime scene technicians arrived, they found blood inside the family's SUV where blood shouldn't have been found.
