Imagine, for a moment, that you have just returned home from a night out with friends. You walk inside your home and find your spouse dead and covered in blood. You immediately believe it to be suicide, only to later find yourself unjustly convicted of their murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

That's what happened to Russ Faria, the husband of Betsy Faria.

For this episode, Russ Faria's criminal defense attorney Joel Schwartz joins Robin to discuss the entirety of the case as well as his new book Bone Deep: Untangling the Betsy Faria Murder Case.

Joel was there from the very beginning. He represented Russ in the first trial and lost, seeing him convicted and sentenced to life in prison...but he was also there at the end, helping to get that conviction overturned and watching as his client walked out of prison, vindicated and free.

Above all, he believed in his client...and he believed that Pam Hupp was the person responsible for Betsy Faria's murder.

Before you listen to this episode, feel free to listen to the 5-part series that we did on the Pam Hupp case. It is one you will not want to miss.

And don't forget, the case is so wild that it's been turned into a TV show! The Thing About Pam airs 3/8 on NBC.
