the closest we could ever find was that they may have both had public library cards at the same library, which is not very close at all. but there was someone who had a motive judy s husband, allen. some domestic problems that they were having in their relationship. we immediately began to investigate that aspect of it, as was jonathan binney the go-between to end judy southern s life for allen southern? did binney and allen southern know each other? as police attempted to answer that question, they got a call from the jail. jonathan binney wanted to talk. we were expecting him to tell us that her husband had hired him to do it and that he was just a paid hand to carry out this act for somebody else.
for the rape of his infant daughter. he was sentenced to death. what is most troubling about jonathan binney s case is that he picked a total stranger. and that s what the jury and others and even judy s family members have such a hard time with. it ranks among the strangest and most senseless of crimes. despite the unusual nature of the crime and the lack of witnesses, science proved that jonathan binney murdered judy southern, despite having no connection to her whatsoever. they could prove without a doubt that yes, he was there. so, the science that s out there today is more than anybody can actually knows until you re going through it, because you never think about it, but you re way happy that it s there. you re glad that they do have that knowledge. we were genuinely concerned
