Summary

Proceed with caution, as Emily and Shane are discussing the graphic murder of Miss Switzerland finalist, Kristina Joksimovic at the hands of her husband, Marc Rieben.

Rieben was methodical when murdering and dismembering his wife, but Kristina’s father learned the truth when he discovered her severed head in a trash bag in their home.  

How does Switzerland law differ from The United States? What was Marc Rieben’s defense? Did he receive the death penalty for his unfathomable crimes?
