40: "Accused - Bryan Lawson"

Shear Crime Podcast

On this week's episode, Kenzie and Ame share the story of Bryan Lawson, a man who shot and killed his wife in their small apartment. The A&E series Accused: Guilty or Innocent follows those convicted of crimes that aren't so black and white. Bryan could have had the book thrown at him without a blink of an eye had it not been for the indoor surveillance cameras the couple had installed that caught the entire event on tape. Domestic violence can come in many shapes and sizes, and with the help of his defense team, Bryan works to build a case showing his actions that day against wife Chandra were warranted. Video tape of just before the fatal shooting clearly displays his wife physically assaulting him and berating him while their small child is in the back room. Will this be enough to convince a judge that he did it in fear for his life, or did he set the whole thing up to look innocent?
