Summary

Brian Walshe claims he dismembered his wife, Ana, and disposed of her body, but he did not kill her. On trial for the first-degree murder of his wife, Brian Walshe now claims Ana died of "sudden adult death syndrome" and he dismembered and disposed of her body to protect his children. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss the vile case of dismemberment and the new defense Walshe uses at trial.
