2025-11-0848 minStraight to the CaseEp. 14 - Trick or Treat: The Murder Behind the MaskIt’s one of Los Angeles’s most haunting Halloween stories — a knock at the door, a mask, and a single gunshot that ended a man’s life.
But behind the disguise was no stranger… it was a plan born from jealousy, loneliness, and a love that couldn’t exist in 1957.
In this Halloween special, Jewel takes you back to the real story of Peter Fabiano, the man murdered on his own doorstep by two women whose friendship turned fatal.
Over decades, the case has been retold like a ghost story — but this wasn’t fiction. It was...

With Keith Harrison leading the charge, appeals exposed hidden prosecutor notes, flawed dog tracking, and a suggestive lineup that should have never stood. For a moment, there was hope—Crosley was released, able to work, ride his motorcycle, marry, and share his faith with family.
But the state never stopped pushing back. In 2022, the appeals court overturned his victory. By 2023, the Supreme Court refused to hear his case, and Crosley was forced to return to pris...

Witnesses recant, investigators admit doubts, and the flaws in the physical evidence begin to surface. We break down the questionable dog tracking, the suggestive photo lineup, and the jury bias that sealed Crosley’s fate.
But even with all of this, the appeals courts refused to grant him a new trial—until a single mistake on paper changed everything. Crosley was taken off death row, not because he was proven innocent, but because of a sentencing error.

Her story set off a chain of events that would change a man’s life forever. Crosley Green was arrested, convicted, and sent to death row—despite no physical evidence tying him to the crime. For decades, appeals exposed shaky eyewitness testimony, suggestive police lineups, flawed dog tracking, and even suppressed notes doubting Kim’s story. And yet, every time Crosley came close...
