#12 Making A Murderer (Wife Edition)

What this episode covers

Making a Murderer….but with a woman. Beyond a reasonable doubt… that's what jurors are told when looking at a case, not to decide the defendant is guilty unless it is proven beyond a reasonable doubt. So how does a jury convict a woman for 27 years with no physical evidence proving she committed the crime? No witnesses? No motives? How do they know beyond a reasonable doubt that she is guilty? Because the police built a case before they even started an investigation. From the moment detectives arrived at the home of Jamie(Jim) and Sandra Melgar they knew who had killed Jim… Sandra.
