It?s a case that has been covered and picked apart for years, yet there are still many questions that linger. In December 2012, Houston police responded to a brutal murder scene - Jim Melgar was found dead in his bedroom, while his wife of 32 years, Sandra Melgar, was tied up in a bathroom closet. Sandra told investigators she had suffered a seizure and didn?t know who killed her husband and locked her up. Investigators didn?t believe her, and she was charged and later convicted of his murder. 

Is Sandra a cold-blooded killer, or is an innocent person in prison?
