À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE

#323 - In 1986, a Washington woman was convicted of intentionally killing two people with cyanide-laced extra-strength Excedrin capsules. One of the victims was her very own husband. The other was a complete stranger.

Her conviction and 90-year prison sentence became the first under federal product tampering laws instituted after the 1982 Chicago Tylenol murders that killed at least 7 people.

Is she a victim of a system that got it wrong during a time when people were paranoid of product tampering? Or is she guilty as charged?
