E221: I Received a Life Sentence For A M...

Lila Rose
About this episode

Judy escaped an abusive marriage and was finally rebuilding her life with her two kids—until Greg entered the picture. Charming. Convincing. Dangerous.


What began as a promise of love turned into a nightmare. One day, Judy found herself at the scene of a murder—and then behind bars, sentenced to life in prison for a crime she didn’t commit.


But that wasn’t the end of her story. In the darkest place, Judy found light. This is the gripping true story of betrayal, injustice, and redemption—a powerful reminder that not even prison can separate us from the love of God (Romans 8:35).
