S1 E4 The Trial

Episode Summary

In Nov. 2009 Ken, Kenny and Greg entered the courtroom ready to stand trial on murder charges. What followed was testimony that was in some cases confused, some cases erroneous and some cases, just made up. A month later the judge rendered her verdict. In this episode we go through that verdict and reflect on the trial.

Episode Notes

The trial of Ken Brotherston and his sons, Kenny and Greg was an exercise in frustration for Marie. She heard absurd testimony from witnesses who admitted lying on the stand. She might have laughed if the next 20 years of her life wasn't at stake.

The judge handed down her verdict based on the version of events she found most credible. In this episode we take you through that narrative and her reasoning for finding Ken and his sons not guilty on all counts.
