播音员:本集播客讲述了1992年Jodi Scharf在情人椅悬崖坠亡的案件,案件经过多次调查和审判,最终认定为Stephen Scharf蓄意谋杀。案件中涉及到法医证据、证人证词、Stephen Scharf的婚外情和保险等多个方面。 Stephen Scharf的陈述:Stephen Scharf声称Jodi Scharf是在两人在悬崖边喝酒时,意外失足坠亡的。他表示两人当时在情人椅上喝酒,他去车里拿酒和毯子时,Jodi Scharf起身时失足坠崖。 警方调查:警方最初调查认为是意外事故,但Jodi Scharf的尸体发现地点距离悬崖底部有52英尺远,这与意外坠落的情况不符。此外,Jodi Scharf的家人和朋友对Stephen Scharf的说法表示怀疑,因为Jodi Scharf有恐高症。 法医鉴定:法医最初无法确定Jodi Scharf的死因,但十年后,在重新调查中,法医专家Dr. Mary Ann Clayton和Dr. Michael Baden根据Jodi Scharf的伤势和尸体发现地点,认为其死因是人为导致的。 其他证据:调查中发现Stephen Scharf与Jodi Scharf的婚姻关系紧张,Stephen Scharf有婚外情,并且在Jodi Scharf去世前增加了巨额保险,受益人为他自己。Jodi Scharf的儿子Jonathan也证实了Jodi Scharf害怕Stephen Scharf,并且两人从未去过案发地点。 审判结果:Stephen Scharf被判犯有一级故意杀人罪,判处无期徒刑,30年后有资格假释。 Courtney Fretwell:作为播音员,Courtney Fretwell客观地叙述了整个案件的经过,并对案件中的关键证据和证词进行了分析和总结。 Stephen Scharf:Stephen Scharf始终坚持Jodi Scharf的死是意外事故,否认自己有谋杀行为。他承认自己有婚外情,但否认对Jodi Scharf进行过虐待。 Jodi Scharf:Jodi Scharf的观点主要通过证人证词和治疗师记录体现,她与Stephen Scharf的婚姻关系紧张,她害怕Stephen Scharf,并且想要离婚。 Jonathan:作为Jodi Scharf的儿子,Jonathan证实了Jodi Scharf有恐高症,并且两人从未去过案发地点,这与Stephen Scharf的说法相矛盾。 Dr. Mary Ann Clayton:作为法医,Dr. Mary Ann Clayton最初无法确定Jodi Scharf的死因,但在重新调查中,她根据新的证据和分析,最终认定Jodi Scharf的死因是凶杀。 Dr. Michael Baden:作为法医专家,Dr. Michael Baden参与了案件的重新调查,并根据Jodi Scharf的伤势和尸体发现地点,认为其死因是人为导致的。 James Bordino:作为冷案调查员,James Bordino负责重新调查Jodi Scharf的案件,并收集了大量证据,最终将Stephen Scharf绳之以法。 Wayne Mello:作为检察官,Wayne Mello与James Bordino合作,负责起诉Stephen Scharf,并最终获得了定罪。
