Ep 120 2ndCast: Part 3 "27 seconds" -16 MINUTES: Was the Death of Baby Matthew an Accident or Murder? By Diane Marger Moore

from Murder Shelf Book Club Podcast · host murdershelfbookclub

Part 3: The defense of William Wise begins by questioning all the known facts about the night Matthew died; the use of an accelerants and the 16-minute timeframe of the fire itself!  Leading to a contentious back-and-forth filled with tension, Defense experts are challenged by the Prosecution. Ultimately, it will be up to the jurors to decide: Is there justice for Baby Matthew? Is William Wise guilty of his murder? Was Michelle Wise an accomplice?  With the verdict in, Jill explores the mindset of the arsonist, applying criminal psychology to William Wise and delving into the "why" that continues to haunt us all, and the unsolved murder of Rae Ann Symons.
