Ep. 1: Pushed To the Limit - The Jane Stafford Story When a headless corpse is found on a deserted dirt road in rural Nova Scotia the local RCMP are certain it’s the body of the town’s resident bully, Billy Stafford. He’s been a thorn in the cop’s side for years and they doubt anyone is going to miss him but they still need to figure out who pulled the trigger. When Billy’s common-law wife Jane is arrested three days later she quickly confesses but claims she was acting in self-defence. After six years of unimaginable abuse and fearing for her life, Jane finally snapped. Her story will make headlines across the country and ignite a much-needed debate about domestic violence and how the Canadian criminal justice system deals with abusers and their victims. Was Jane justified in her actions and what price will she ultimately pay for fighting back? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Ep. 2: Pushed To the Limit - The Jane Stafford Story Jane Stafford is charged with the first-degree murder of her husband Billy after his headless body is discovered. Jane admits to shooting him but claims it was in self-defence after he threatened to kill their neighbours and her son. Her trial gains nationwide attention because her defence rests on battered women’s syndrome. The jury will hear of the horrific abuse she and her young son suffered for over six years at the hands of her violent husband and how she believed he would eventually kill her. The jury will have to decide if Jane deserves to be sent to prison but regardless, Jane will have to live with what she did for the rest of her life. What price will she ultimately pay for striking back and speaking out about domestic violence? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Ep.1: Barwin’s Babies For decades Dr. Norman Barwin was revered as a miracle worker.  His specialty for helping women and couples who had issues with conceiving their own babies earned him the nickname The Baby Whisperer. The walls of his offices at the Broadview Fertility Clinic in Ottawa were covered with photos of the babies that resulted from his treatments.   But in the early 2000s, his reputation would begin to unravel. It started with two lawsuits that exposed major issues with how sperm was allegedly mixed up because of lax standards in his clinic. Children were conceived using sperm that was not that of the chosen donors. And when those lawsuits brought further scrutiny from couples and the children conceived through his lab, a shocking betrayal would unfold, resulting in the loss of his license to practice medicine, and a multi-million dollar class-action lawsuit.

Ep. 1: Trail of Pain - The Crimes of Albert Johnson Walker On a sunny July day in 1996 off the coast of Devon, England, a fisherman and his son caught something very unusual in their net.

Tracing the timepiece’s unique serial number, the police identify the drowned man. But his identity only leads to a stranger mystery when it’s discovered that the man’s best friend has stolen his identity. Now the British police have two men with the same name and one of them ended up dead. Who is the imposter and what other secrets is he hiding? The truth will leave even the most experienced criminal investigators reeling! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

But since disappearing together the father and daughter have been living as husband and wife and she has given birth to two children.
