Description

A nurse practitioner made a frantic 911 call just hours after leaving a bar with a coworker. Police responded to an apartment complex where they found Minnesota nurse Alex Pennig suffering from a gunshot wound. As investigators pieced together the events of the night, they began to uncover troubling contradictions in the account provided by Pennig’s coworker, Matthew Ecker. Kristin Thorne takes an in-depth look at the case of Alex Pennig in this episode of Law&Crime Investigates. We believe audience insight and dialogue can deepen understanding of the justice system.

This is the best coverage of this case. I also enjoyed this Law and Crime host more than others on this channel and i was especially grateful to not have to endure the cheesy promotional plugs. Well done. More like this, please.

Based on this, I would not have been able to vote guilty I would have to watch the trial because this just doesn’t seem like guilty without a reasonable doubt

The dude is in prison because they can't open her phone? Is that a joke?

I can never feel bad for the people in these scenarios except for the person who was cheated on and the families who are left to grieve.

How does a person with that kind of history, trusted to be a nurse ? Honest question.
