Mel Ignatow was accused of killing the beautiful Brenda Schaefer. He was tried and acquitted of this crime, though investigators held fast to their beliefs that he did this terrible thing to Brenda. He could not be retried, however, due to a clause known as double jeopardy in our court system (one cannot be retried a second time for murder after being aquitted) even after other material came forth that made Mr. Ignatow look MORE guilty, including ex-girlfriend, Mary Ann Shore.
Eventually, however, something would come knocking at his door, taking care of all that investigator's such as Jim Wesley and Roy Hazlewood were worried about.
Mel would have his crimes tried in the ULTIMATE court of law and receive a sentence only karma could bring.
*Karma definition - destiny or fate, the sum of a person's actions deciding their fate in future existences.
