Summary

Cory Lovelace was found dead in her bed on Valentine’s Day, so naturally the local rumor mill started peddling the idea that her husband, Curtis, had killed her. The only problem is this case is full of plot holes that no one wanted/or cared enough to find the answers to. At least until 8 years later when a new detective decides to take another look at the case, but was Curtis still being wrongly accused? Curtis Lovelace, was eventually charged with the murder of his wife, Cory, and his first trial was labeled a mistrial. Curtis got another trial, and this time things were different… But what really happened?
