Ep 30. Linda Pedroza

Linda Pedroza was a former model and mother of two who appeared to have it all. However, her seemingly perfect life was shattered when her husband, Frank Pedroza, was found dead in their home in Orange County, California. He had been shot in the head and Linda became the prime suspect in his murder.

Linda had a history of drug abuse and had been in and out of rehab multiple times. She had also previously been arrested for domestic violence against her husband. Frank's family began to suspect Linda's involvement in his death and urged the police to investigate her.

During the investigation, police discovered that Linda had taken out a life insurance policy on her husband and was named as the sole beneficiary. She had also forged Frank's signature on the policy. This raised suspicions that Linda had killed her husband for financial gain.

As the case against Linda built, she maintained her innocence and claimed that she had been out of town at the time of Frank's murder. However, her alibi was quickly dismantled when investigators found evidence that Linda had been near the house on the day of the murder.

Despite her continued denials, Linda was eventually charged with first-degree murder and stood trial for her husband's death. The trial was highly publicized and boisterous, with both sides presenting evidence and arguments that would ultimately sway the jury's verdict.

The prosecution argued that Linda had killed her husband for financial gain and provided evidence that showed Linda was struggling with debt at the time of Frank's death. They also argued that Linda had a history of drug abuse and had been in and out of rehab multiple times. This history, they claimed, made her capable of committing such a heinous crime.

The defense, on the other hand, claimed that Linda was innocent and that the prosecution's evidence was circumstantial. They argued that Linda had not been at the scene of the murder and that there was no physical evidence to link her to the crime.

In the end, the jury found Linda guilty of her husband's murder and she was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. The case sparked a national conversation about the dangers of domestic violence and the devastating impact it can have on families.
