The “Prom Night Murders” case involves Jeff Pelley, who was convicted in 2006 of killing his father, stepmother, and two stepsisters in 1989, hours before his high school prom. He was sentenced to 160 years in prison, despite the prosecution’s case being largely circumstantial.

However, in 2024, a judge denied his request for a retrial. The case remains controversial, with continued debate about his guilt and the possibility of a wrongful conviction
