S1, EP59 "Jailhouse Calls And Police Interviews"

More jailhouse phone calls were played for the jury. After she was arrested for first-degree murder in her husband, Gary Farris's death, Melody called her lover, Rusty Barton, who was afraid the two of them would break up. So, what did Rusty know about the victim's remains being found in a burn pile on the Farris family farm? The State tried raised suspicion on his role with what he said on recorded police interviews played out in Court.

According to prosecutors in their opening statements, money was the motive for this murder. Next, Melody Farris' defense delivered their opening remarks to the jury. They claimed police acted on confirmation bias when they allegedly narrowed erroneously on the defendant for the death of her husband, Gary. A complicated family coupled with a complicated police investigation all led to fingers pointing at Melody Farris for first-degree murder.

The show's episodes follow each case from the initial investigation until it reaches its legal resolution.
