On 27th January 2017, Chandra Lawson was shot dead by her husband whilst she stood next to their two year old son. From the outset, Bryan Lawson claimed self defence. He said that he had been abused by his wife for years.
In this episode we discuss the blinding evidence in this case and the fact that the entire shooting was recorded on the couple’s home security system. We also explore whether we think this was a case of self defence or whether it was cold blooded murder.
