About this episode

The episode discusses the events surrounding Ellie Nesler and the courtroom incident that sparked a global debate on justice and parental vengeance.

On the morning of the 2nd of April, 1993, the Jamestown Justice Court was in session. The man in the dock was charged with seven counts of lewd conduct with children. In the hallway outside, the mother of one of his victims sat waiting. Before the morning was over, what happened inside that courthouse would make headlines across the world, and ignite a debate about justice, vengeance, and how far a parent can go before the law stops seeing them as a victim.
