Accomplice to Murder with Vinnie Politan: Season 1, Episode 3

1 - 3: Mississippi v. Edmonds

The case against Tyler Edmonds seemed like a slam dunk. When Kristi Fulgham was taken in by police for questioning after her husband Joey was found dead with a gunshot wound to the head, she told them that her half-brother Tyler had done it, shooting Joey to protect her from an abusive husband. The 13-year-old confessed, though saying that he was only an accomplice to the murder that Kristi planned. After a short trial, he was convicted and sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole. It would take the heroic efforts of his defense lawyer - who took Tyler's case all the way to the Supreme Court - to give his client a shot at redemption and a second chance at life.
