Do not do not fear.

I want to give you the body of the heart.

Do not fear.

Do not fear.

Do not fear.

In August of 2017, Sandra Jean Melgar was convicted in a Harris County courtroom for the murder of her husband.

Following the conviction, the same jury that voted to convict Sandy returned to the deliberation room to decide on her sentence.

The result was 27 years in TDCJ.

Bayliffs allowed Sandy to hug her daughter Liz one last time before being escorted out of the courtroom and sent away to prison.

Over the last five months, we've examined several elements of the state's case against Sandy.

We've evaluated the crime scene investigation, police interrogations, the forensic evidence found on the scene, Jim Melgar's autopsy, the blood spatter analysis, the computer forensics,

misstatements by the prosecutor, and we've covered the items that were known to be missing for the Melgar's home after Jim's murder.

We've compared Jim's injuries to Sandy's lack of injuries.

We've heard from FBI profilers Jim Clemente and Jim Fitzgerald, and after all of that, we've yet to find a single item of evidence that incriminates Sandy Melgar.

Sandy showed no signs of any injuries consistent with engaging in a fight like the one that ended Jim Melgar's life.

She didn't have a trace of blood or Jim's DNA in her body, nor did Jim have any of her DNA in his body.

The crime scene showed no evidence of anyone cleaning up on the scene, nor was there any evidence that Sandy had left and then returned.

There are items missing, documented with receipts and instruction manuals that police never accounted for, and we've identified several other similar home invasions that had occurred near the Melgar's home within a year of Jim's murder.

Profiler Jim Clemente assessed the scene as a home invasion gone wrong, and identified several elements of the crime scene as what he referred to as counter indications of staging.

Then we heard from forensic linguist Jim Fitzgerald, who concluded that Sandy showed no signs of deception during her police interrogations.

In a nutshell, so far, I don't see a single piece of evidence in this case that even comes close to implicating Sandy.

And that leads me to the topic of today's episode.
