Two siblings, one murder. Who should police believe?

When someone is attacked, especially in their home, the victim usually knows the person hurting them. And in the 2002 murder of a woman named Marlyne Johnson, the police charged her daughter-in-law, Sophia Johnson, with first degree murder. The whole ordeal tore two families apart because not only was Sophia charged with killing her mother-in-law, but the main witness against her was her own brother.

Amory Sivertson dives back into the case in her new podcast, Beyond All Repair. She joins Crime Story now.
