On December 6, 1991 four teenage girls were murdered at their job at a yogurt shop. It appeared to be a robbery gone wrong. However, the murders were very brutal and the crime scene was destroyed. Often thought of a safe area, there was immense pressure on the Austin police to solve this crime. Did the pressure cloud their judgment?

Madison gets into all the details, and explains why the verdict might not be so clear.
