Summary:
This video relives the sensational case that began when attorney Richard Lyon rushed his wife Nancy from their Park Cities home to the emergency room in January, 1991. She died a few days later and the coroner's report proved what her old-money family suspected, that she was poisoned with arsenic. Her father immediately began pressing for a murder conviction against his son-in-law, but the contentious trial suggested that Nancy may well have killed herself and framed her husband in a perverse ploy for revenge.
