Summary

2006 - Epping, New Hampshire. Just as Sheila LaBarre's impending murder trial in March of 2008 was approaching, Sheila's legal team dropped a bombshell: Sheila had admitted to killing both Kenneth Countie and Michael DeLoge (despite the fact the state hadn't charged her with Michael's death), but declared she was "not guilty by reason of insanity"—that Sheila believed she was an avenging angel put on this earth with a mission to take out the bad guys. The families of Kenneth and Michael were aghast at the possibility Sheila might be able to escape responsibility for their loved ones' deaths, meanwhile, the media dug into Sheila's history... unearthing a horrifying record of domestic violence, and the survivors who lived to tell their accounts on the stand. Was Sheila LaBarre in fact legally insane? And are there other victims we don't know about? This is part three (of three) of the Sheila LaBarre case.
