So here you are.

Have you ever imagined you'd be in a situation like this in your life?

Never.

The first time I sat down with Russ Faria, he had just been convicted of killing his wife,

Betsy. It was February 2014.

How long have you been here now?

I've been here at Fulton since the day after Christmas, December 26th, but I was locked up.

You were in County, too.

And in County for two years.

The had been sentenced to life in prison and his future was looking rather bleak.

This one better than the other.

The conditions here are a lot better. The foods are a lot better.

The guards and stuff, I think, treat you better here.

Oh, that's something.

But the amazing thing was, Russ was not resentful. He was not bitter.

Russ's attorney, Joel, was preparing an appeal just then.

He thought Russ's case had a shot.

But appeals take years.

Man, they rarely succeed.

By the first time I talked to Russ, we'd been asking around about him, about Betsy,

about the murder, the investigation, for a couple of months.

We'd heard so many conflicting stories.
