Summary

This is the heartbreaking case of Benjamin Elliott, a 17-year-old in Katy, Texas, convicted of murdering his twin sister Meghan Elliott. The episode details the loving sibling bond shattered when Benjamin fatally stabbed Meghan in her sleep. His defense claimed the act was due to a sleepwalking (parasomnia) episode, citing a family history of sleep disorders. Prosecutors countered with phone data and a chilling 911 confession to argue premeditation.
