Ep 18. Michelle Michael

Michelle Michael was an athlete and a successful businesswoman. She had everything going for her until her husband, John, was found dead at their home in 2001. The police initially believed that John had died from a heart attack, but an autopsy revealed that he had been shot. Michelle became the prime suspect in the investigation, and the evidence against her was overwhelming.

In this episode of Snapped, we explore Michelle's life leading up to the murder of her husband. Friends and family members describe her as an outgoing and driven woman who always had a smile on her face. Michelle was an accomplished runner and had even participated in the Boston Marathon. She was also a successful businesswoman who owned her own marketing company.

However, Michelle's marriage to John was not as happy as it seemed on the surface. Friends and family members reveal that John was possessive and controlling. He monitored Michelle's every move and would often call her several times a day to check on her. Michelle confided in her friends about the problems in her marriage, and they tried to convince her to leave John.

On the day of John's murder, Michelle was the only one home with him. She claimed that she went for a run in the park and came back to find John dead. However, the evidence showed that Michelle had been lying. The gun used in the murder was found in her car, and the gunshot residue was found on her hands. Despite her protests of innocence, Michelle was arrested and charged with John's murder.

The trial was a media sensation, with people lining up to get a seat in the courtroom. Michelle's defense team argued that the evidence against her was circumstantial and that there was no motive for her to kill her husband. They suggested that John had been involved in some shady business dealings and that his death was related to those activities.

The prosecution, on the other hand, presented a compelling case. They argued that Michelle had been unhappy in her marriage and that she had planned the murder in advance. They suggested that she had used her running shoes to muffle the gunshots and that she had cleaned up the crime scene to make it look like a heart attack.

In the end, the jury found Michelle guilty of first-degree murder, and she was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Michelle has always maintained her innocence and has filed several appeals, but all have been denied.

This episode of Snapped provides a fascinating look into the life of a woman who seemed to have it all but ultimately lost everything.
