This episode will cover the murder of Denise Rudy who was killed by Sadiki Garden in December of 1999. His appeal brought up questions of judicial discretion, jury instruction, and the validity of eyewitness identification especially when it's cross-racial identification. As with many cases, we don't know that much about the victim, but she was a mother of four who didn't get to spend Christmas with her children that year, or even meet grandchildren in the future to spend Christmas with them. that was taken away from her, her family, and the holidays were tarnished for the family forever because of a person's decision to shoot a woman during an attempted robbery. Additionally, to be covered in a future episode, someone charged along with Garden had walked away from a work release program, and much of the coverage from this trial stemmed from this in questioning the sentencing of that person to a work release program.
