旁白:1989年,印第安纳州佩利家族四口在家中被枪杀。警方怀疑17岁的儿子杰夫·佩利是凶手,动机是他不被允许参加毕业舞会。案件缺乏直接证据,主要依靠间接证据,包括杰夫与父母关系紧张,以及案发当晚他的活动安排。杰夫否认参与谋杀,并提供不在场证明。但检方认为,杰夫有作案动机和机会,并推测了他的作案过程。案件在2002年重启调查,杰夫被捕并被判犯有谋杀罪,但随后上诉成功,案件被发回重审。最终,印第安纳州最高法院维持原判。案件中存在诸多争议,包括证据的可靠性、动机的合理性以及时间线的可行性。此外,证人托妮·比勒的证词暗示了佩利家族父亲鲍勃可能与他人有冲突,这为案件提供了新的线索。 杰西:作为受害者家属,杰西提供了关于杰夫行为的证词,描述了他内向、具有攻击性的一面,以及与继母关系紧张。她的证词为检方提供了部分证据支持。 达拉:作为杰夫的女朋友,达拉提供了杰夫案发当晚的不在场证明,证实杰夫与她一起参加了毕业舞会和其他活动。她的证词对杰夫的辩护至关重要。 金·奥尔登堡:案发当天,金·奥尔登堡曾到佩利家做客,她证实案发前家中气氛紧张,杰夫看起来很生气。 克里斯托弗·托斯:作为当时的检察官,克里斯托弗·托斯主导了对杰夫的起诉,他认为杰夫有作案动机和机会,并利用间接证据指控杰夫。 迈克尔·多维奇:克里斯托弗·托斯卸任后,迈克尔·多维奇接手了此案,并最终维持了对杰夫的判决。 托妮·比勒:托妮·比勒的证词暗示了佩利家族父亲鲍勃可能与他人有冲突,这为案件提供了新的线索,并为杰夫的辩护提供了支持。 私人调查员:一位私人调查员对杰夫作案的可行性提出了质疑,认为一个17岁的青少年不可能在短时间内完成如此复杂的犯罪行为。

Shownotes Transcript

#223 - In 1989, four members of the Pelley family from Indiana were gunned down inside their home. Without any leads or forensic evidence, the police decided they had their suspect: the Pelley family's 17-year-old son, Jeff. And the motive was simple: Jeff murdered his family because he wasn't allowed to go to prom.

Is Jeff Pelley guilty or innocent?
