Episode 2: The State vs. Michael Harold Chapel

This is the State’s version of what happened. In Episode 2, you’ll hear the prosecution’s case against Michael Chapel the way jurors heard it: through trial audio, witness testimony, courtroom evidence and the prosecution’s own words. The evidence jurors were asked to believe: the roadcheck sightings, Emogene Thompson’s missing money, the raincoat, the patrol car seat and the blood evidence prosecutors said Chapel could not explain away. For years, even some people who knew Mike believed the case against him was simply too strong to overcome... But was it?
