In season 5, episode 2, one sees the
murder of Lisa Ann
Millican and Janice Kay Chatman by Judith
Neelley in Alabama. The show is titled Twisted Thrills and Discovery
ID describes it as, “Store clerk shot and killed outside a bank”
Judith Neelley was convicted of two counts of murder
and sentenced to Death, which was commuted to life by a governor who was exiting office.
Her appeal includes (see link):
Petitioner Judith Ann Neelley was convicted of the capital offense of murder during a kidnaping. She did not deny that she had kidnaped and killed the victim. She testified, however, that she had acted at the direction and under the control of her husband, Alvin Neelley, who, petitioner contended, had physically and sexually abused her. Petitioner claimed that she was willing to do anything to avoid further abuse. A clinical psychologist [488 U.S. 1020 , 1021] who had examined Neelley testified that she " 'probably fits the battered women's syndrome to the most severe extent that [she had] seen.' " The psychologist noted that " 'Alvin's mental state was substituted' " for petitioner's so that she had " 'no intents of her own.' " Neelley v. State, 494 So.2d 669, 681 (Ala.Crim.App.1985).
To substantiate her defense further, petitioner's attorney sought disclosure of evidence seized by investigators from her mobile home-in particular, several letters petitioner sent to her husband. These letters contained references to her husband's "hypnotizing eyes" and the fact that petitioner had been hearing her husband's voice by mental telepathy. One letter also contained the suggestion that petitioner believed her letters might lead her husband to kill her. The prosecution denied that it had such letters and the trial court denied petitioner's request. The jury subsequently imposed a sentence of life without parole. Although the trial judge found that petitioner "was substantially influenced by her husband," he overruled the jury and sentenced petitioner to death. Id., at 693.

Judith Neelley manipulated an underage girl into committing suicide what’s her excuse now as Alvin wasn’t there. Judith also claimed that she feared for her life but Alvin was the only criminal in a middle class family. Judith’s family was and remains a hotbed of pimps, prostitutes, child molesters and rapists so did she really fear for her family’s lives? I don’t believe in the death penalty and I also don’t believe one word out of Judith Neelley’s mouth.
