She Poured Boiling Sugar Water on Him — Justice or Vengeance? | Corinna Smith

Just after midnight in a quiet UK neighborhood, 59-year-old Corinna Smith ran to her neighbor’s house, screaming that she thought she had killed her husband, Michael Baine. Minutes later, police found 81-year-old Michael Baines in bed, whimpering in pain, his skin peeling from severe burns. What unfolded was a story of grief, shocking allegations, and a horrifying act of vengeance.

In today’s episode, we’re covering the disturbing case of Corinna Smith—a wife, a mother, and a woman pushed to the edge after learning devastating claims about the man she’d been married to for nearly 40 years. What made her pour boiling sugar water over her sleeping husband? And what did the court decide when the truth was more complicated than it seemed?

Listen as we break down how this case of betrayal, trauma, and rage turned deadly.

Poll Question: Should a history of emotional trauma or shocking revelations be considered a valid reason to reduce a murder charge to manslaughter?
