Description

Crime Bit with Danelle Hallan continues with Part 2 of the Sandra and Jim Melgar case, as the focus shifts from the chaotic crime scene to a trial built almost entirely on circumstantial evidence. Despite missing forensic links, mishandled leads, and unidentified DNA throughout the house, prosecutors push the theory that Sandra staged a home invasion to murder her husband.

What happens when a jury must choose between a “ridiculous” story and a broken investigation?

In Part 2, Danelle unpacks the courtroom battle, the controversial conviction, and the new DNA testing that could decide whether Sandra is a cold-blooded killer or the victim of a wrongful conviction.
