Overkill - a term that was originally used to describe nuclear weaponry is now used when there is a killing in excess of what is intended or required.  In this week's episode we will tell you two cases where the "overkill" is what makes or breaks the case.

Ronda: Daniel Laplante never stood a chance, but instead of turning his life around, he became a creep. He enjoyed breaking into homes and playing mind games with his victims. This is what he did with the Andrews family until he decided to escalate his behavior. This one is a wild ride, so buckle in! 
 
Pam: When Haile Kifer and Nick Brady broke into Byron Smith's home, they were not expecting to be met with an ambush. This double murder called into question some of Minnesota's laws regarding the right to protect your own home. At what point does self defense turn into premeditation? Listen and let us know your thoughts!
