The episode begins with a discussion on the credibility of blood spatter analysis in forensic science, setting the stage for the case of Bonnie Horinek, whose death is initially reported as a suicide but later becomes a subject of suspicion and investigation.

Shownotes Transcript

#104 - In March 1995, Fort Worth Police officers responded to a 911 call about an apparent suicide. The caller, Warren Horinek, told first responders that his wife, Bonnie, shot and hilled herself. But when the police arrived at the house, he changed his story.

Although the Fort Worth police and District Attorney's office refused to charge Warren with his wife's death, a Grand Jury indicted Warren on first-degree murders charges.

At trial, the prosecution and defense shared two very different stories about what happened on the night of Bonnie's death. The trial would come down to blood spatter testimony.
