Summary

In January of 1999, 30 year old Belinda Temple, who was eight months pregnant, was found shot to death in her closet in Katy, Texas. Her husband, David Temple, was the obvious first suspect. But there wasn’t much evidence to connect him to the murder and he was seen on store cameras during the suspected time of the murder. But he had the oldest motive in the world. And Harris County DA’s Office would take almost five years to finally bring charges against him. The complicated legal wranglings and clash of two courtroom titans made this case a national sensation. And sometimes the very real woman, Belinda Temple, and her unborn daughter, Erin, are forgotten in the sensationalism. This is part 1 of 2 episodes.

0:00.0	Sarah, where's the car? It's gone. It's not gone. It's with fixer. Since you never got
0:04.5	round to fixing it, I took care of it. Fixed up? Fixed up? Fixed up great. They pick
0:08.4	up your car, drive it to the garage, handle the maintenance, then drive it straight
0:11.1	back to you. Sounds expensive? Don't worry. They negotiate their prices with their partner
0:14.8	garages and the car pickup services included. So since that's all handled, how about you
0:18.8	take a look at that leaky tab or do you need me to fix that too? For easy car maintenance,
0:23.0	head to fixter.co.uk. We'll pick up your car and take care of all the rest. Fixed up,

1:08.3	Listener discretion is advised.
1:13.6	The phrase, it's always the husband, is a popular trope in true crime. I've got an episode
1:19.7	named that, the case of Michael Morton, who is actually an innocent man. You see it in memes,
1:25.7	hear it on podcasts, and on shows like Dateline and even fictional shows like Dexter.
1:31.2	It's a trope for a reason. Studies are all over the place on percentages, but for women,
1:36.8	only about 10% are killed by strangers. Of the women killed by someone they know,
1:42.1	anywhere from 60 to 75% are killed by their husband, boyfriend or partner.
