October 15, 2023 / 02:07

This episode covers the murder trial of Jade Janks for the death of her stepfather, Tom Maraman. Key topics include the discovery of explicit photos, alleged drugging, and the prosecution's evidence.

Jade Janks stood trial for the 2021 murder of Tom Maraman, whose body was found under garbage. Prosecutors claimed she killed him after discovering explicit photos of herself on his computer.

Jade's attorney argued there was no motive for murder, suggesting anger but not enough to kill. The prosecution presented evidence including text messages where Jade allegedly confessed to drugging him.

On the day of his death, Jade brought home supplies that prosecutors labeled a murder kit. Jade claimed these were for a painting project, while prosecutors argued they were used to commit the crime.

Throughout the trial, Jade maintained her innocence, with the defense suggesting Tom's death was due to poor health and self-administered drugs.
