115: A Woman Scorned: Judith and Alvin Neelley, Part 2

We're back with the rest of the story of Judith and Alvin Neelley. When we left off last week, the two had just been arrested for check forgery and Janice Chatman was still missing. We pick up with the interrogation, then move into the legal dealings, and also debate our own thoughts and feelings on this brutal case.
