When Crystal Hamilton failed to show up for a girl’s night out with friends, her friends thought she was running late. What they didn’t know, was that her husband had shot her dead, and then he got into a stand-off with responding officers, wounding 2 officers and killing a rookie on her first day on patrol. Join Margot as she discusses the deadly encounter, and the trial in VA v. Ronald Hamilton. Let's remember Crystal Hamilton and Officer Ashley Guindon.  —— Submit your Listener Story Here! ——- Thank you to today’s sponsor:  Check out 48 Hours: NCIS wherever you listen to podcasts! Acorns!
