cheated young man. his father imprisoned, when neither he nor amanda belief for a minute that he killed their mother. he missed out on me turning 16. me driving for the first time. my graduation. me getting married. i have a kid now, he missed that. the birth of his first grandchild. he missed out on a lot. brad sister marcia would still determined to bring him back to that world he was missing. with investigator dwight s help, she finally found a father daughter team of attorneys who seem to understand the case. and the family. these were adjust salt to the earth, small town country people. and they were stunned at the way the system had worked against brad jennings. first bob and liz ramsey read the trial transcripts. the first thing that jumped
violation, it is the kind of evidence that makes a difference in a trial. so they elected to shoot for the moon, there one chance to overturn the jury verdict. they claim that with held evidence could ve changed the result of the trial. i don t promise anything to a client other than i ll give you my best shot, and all i told him was this gives you a shot. vanishing still they filed and waited. and against all odds were granted a hearing. we were very excited, but cautious. we it was almost like this little dim light at the end of the tunnel. this was the hearing, in november 2017, almost 11 years after that terrible christmas eve, here brad s attorneys reveal the gsr result that suggested his innocence and the
sister, sean, got busy, soon after that deadly christmas morning. in early january, she went to the office of the missouri state highway patrol to express their belief that this in fact was a murder. she looked into a highly experience detective name dan nash. longtime investigator who has been involved in several high-profile murder cases in the ozarks. and when sergeant nash took one look at that file, something forensic seemed off. he was inclined to agree with sean. it didn t look like suicide at all. he was just struck by the fact that if lisa jennings had shot herself using her right hand, there would be more blow back from that, then one drop of blood. three months after that christmas eve, investigator nash drove over to brad s farm, told him he was looking at the case again. and wanted to went into the bathroom that mr. jennings was wearing that. like the the real piano on
i m craig melvin. lisa jennings had died from a single gunshot to the head, her death ruled a suicide, but the file was now in the hands of dan nash, and to him, the details were not adding up. he believed needs lisa had been murdered and that her husband brad, was the trigger man. now nash was about to pay him a visit and the already fractured family would be torn apart once again here is keith morrison, with a crack in everything. probably everybody at buffalo, missouri knew that brad jennings the apparent grieving husband was now a murder suspect. everybody waiting for something to happen. and in july 2007, seven months after lisa s death, it did.
alternative was quite unthinkable. did you have any inkling, any suspicion, that brad might have had something to do with it? i had none. brad told me on christmas morning, and you could tell he was still still there really distraught. so, that morning i came over. and he told me the whole story. and no, i never crossed my mind. in fact, after all of the lap test results were in, the dallas county sheriff and coroner and prosecutor, all officially ruled leases death suicide. the local newspaper in the buffalo reflex quoted the prosecutor who said, there is zero evidence to show otherwise. so you had no sense, no reason to think that it was anything other than what the coroner and the sheriff said it was? absolutely not. but there were others in the family and they were not so sure. it starts with suspicion.
