A Killer Makes a Call: Black Widow
Penelope Jackson
Season 1 Episode 5 of 6
A look at when sixty-six-year-old retired accountant Penelope Jackson took over a 999 call and confessed to stabbing her husband repeatedly, seeming unrepentant. When police arrived at their Somerset bungalow, she affirmed her confession, which was caught on a police body cam and released to the media. Penelope argues that she suffered a loss of control after being pushed to the edge by her husband's abuse. The jury must decide whether she is a victim of domestic abuse or a murderer
