The Murder Trial

She says she didn't kill her parents.
The evidence says she did.


Seventeen-year-old Janelle Thompson stands trial for the brutal murder of her adoptive parents, who were discovered buried in their own yard.

As the courtroom closes in, the past resurfaces: threats ignored, violence misunderstood, and one moment of fear that changed everything.

Fingerprints, ballistics, and witnesses all point to her guilt. The jury is ready to convict.

But the truth is far more dangerous than anyone expects.
