播音员：本集讲述了2015年一起跳伞事故，经验丰富的跳伞教练维多利亚·西里尔斯的主伞和备用伞都失灵，但奇迹般地幸存下来。调查发现，她的降落伞被人为破坏，而她的丈夫埃米尔成为主要嫌疑人。埃米尔不仅面临跳伞事故的指控，还被指控在一周前试图通过破坏家中煤气管道来谋杀妻子。法医证据、证人证词和埃米尔的婚外情、巨额债务等信息都指向了他的罪行。尽管维多利亚在第一次审判中为丈夫辩护，但最终埃米尔被判犯有两项谋杀未遂罪和一项鲁莽危害他人安全罪，被判处无期徒刑。本案也探讨了精神变态的特征，埃米尔的行为符合精神变态者的典型特征。 维多利亚·西里尔斯：维多利亚在第一次审判中为丈夫埃米尔辩护，坚称他没有蓄意破坏她的降落伞，并夸大了她关于主伞问题的描述。她还表示，她自己可能松动了煤气管道。在第二次审判中，她没有出庭作证。 埃米尔·西里尔斯：埃米尔承认婚外情和债务问题，但否认了与跳伞事故和煤气泄漏事件有关。他始终没有为自己的行为表示悔恨。
