Synopsis
On November 29, 1992, 35-year-old Judy Blake Moilanen went walking with her five springer spaniels on Michigan's upper peninsula. When one of her dogs returned without her, Judy's mother went looking for her. She found her daughter's body in the woods, shot to death. AMERICAN JUSTICE details how what looked at first like a hunting accident eventually became a murder conviction for Judy's husband Bruce. A state police detective thought that his alibi was shaky, but it was Bruce and Judy's toddler who unwittingly propelled the investigation forward. From the "accident" that presaged Judy's death to the confession and trial, THE DEER HUNTING MURDER chronicles the twists and turns of the case with the help of the investigators who worked it.
