Connecticut: Ten Cases That Changed the State | Full Documentary

Connecticut is small, wealthy, and quiet. It is also the state where a man put his wife through a wood chipper, where a nursing home was called a murder factory, and where a jury was asked, in open court, to consider whether the devil could be a defence. This is the full record of ten Connecticut cases, told in order, from a snowplough driver on a riverbank in 1986 to a home invasion in Cheshire that ended the state's death penalty. Each one is built from court records, police statements, trial coverage and the accounts of the people who lived through it. No dramatisation. No theories presented as facts. Just the record, and what it still leaves unanswered.
