Ep 8. Patricia McMillion

Patricia McMillion had it all – a loving family, a successful career as a nurse, and a spacious home in rural Georgia. But on March 6th, 2014, everything changed when her husband, Ed McMillion, was found dead in their backyard.

In this episode of Snapped, we delve into the complex case of Patricia McMillion, a woman who seemed to have no motive for murdering her husband. There were no signs of forced entry, and no weapon was found at the scene. Despite this, authorities quickly suspected Patricia of foul play, and within days, she was arrested and charged with murder.

As the investigation unfolded, details emerged about the McMillions' troubled marriage. Friends and family members described a relationship characterized by infidelity, financial struggles, and verbal abuse. In the weeks before Ed's death, Patricia had confided in friends that she was considering divorce. But did she really have it in her to kill her husband?

Throughout the trial, Patricia maintained her innocence. Her defense team argued that the evidence against her was circumstantial and lacked credibility. They pointed to the fact that the prosecution's case was built largely on the testimony of jailhouse snitches, who claimed that Patricia had admitted to the crime while behind bars.

Despite these objections, the jury found Patricia guilty of first-degree murder. She was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. But questions still linger about what really happened on that fateful day in March. Did Patricia really kill her husband, or was she unjustly targeted by overzealous prosecutors and unreliable witnesses?

As we revisit the case of Patricia McMillion on Snapped, viewers will have the opportunity to weigh the evidence for themselves and draw their own conclusions. Was justice served, or was a mother and career woman wrongfully accused of a crime she did not commit? Find out in this riveting episode of Snapped.
