So what's with the music?

I figured we were driving it to Paris.

I get it.

Paris, Maine, Ray.

But yeah, Paris.

And we're heading up Paris Hill Road, too, so there's that.

Ray, are you familiar with the term double jeopardy?

I assume you're not talking about the television quiz show that Alex Trebek made so famous, right? No, no, no. I'm referring to the legal term. I'm pretty sure that's the law that states a person can't be tried twice for the same crime. Yep, you're right. But there's another legal dilemma, and that's when two people go to jail for one crime, even though one of them is innocent and the other is guilty.

Well, that doesn't seem right.

Prosecutors would rather have one innocent person in jail than let a guilty person go free?

Well, that's exactly what happened right up this road.

A double murder occurred in this region back in 1937.

Two people went to jail for it. One may have

been innocent. And to this day, no one is certain exactly who done it. We've come to Paris, Maine,

to try to solve the Littlefield murders.

Hello there. I'm Jeff Belanger. And I'm Ray Oger.

Welcome to episode 282 of the New England Legends podcast.

Thanks for joining us on our mission to chronicle every legend in New England one story at a time.

Did you know most of our story leads come from you?

This one did.

Thanks to Gerard Staples for reaching out to us with this one.

We should point out that those of you listening with your kids, the themes this week are a little more touchy than usual because we're dealing with the true crime, with murder, and their motives.
