You see a 70-year-old, white-haired woman get stopped
by the police for a tail light on her car that’s not working.
They have her get out of the car and, unexpectedly, they
put handcuffs on her.
You’re thinking, for a defective tail light? But you don’t know
the real reason she’s cuffed.
Twenty-two years before, and after two months of
marriage to her husband, back then,
she got romantically involved with his friend, who she
appears to have talked into murdering her husband.
The evidence is now airtight despite the elderly woman
or the fake friend of her husband not confessing.
What is not entirely known is the motive, but I suspect it
was boredom and a bundle of insurance money.
That aside, it’s heartening to see that justice sometimes
prevails decades after a case has gone cold.
