And in this case, he was.

easy for people to believe his version of events because how could someone like him do the alternative um so yeah it shook the community for sure yeah it did shake the community so he's arrested of course he's professing his innocence that he's not guilty but ultimately this case goes to trial and boy was that something you were in that courtroom so we're going to talk about that yeah

Don't go anywhere.

And don't you go anywhere because when we come back, Nick goes on trial.

We're going to take you inside what was a very emotional courtroom.

So stay put.

Hi, everybody.

Welcome back to 2020 The After Show.

I am sitting here and I'm riveted and I would hope you are too because 2020 producer Brooke Stanglin is helping us unravel the case of Heidi Furcus, a case that she and I worked on together, took us to St.

Paul, Minnesota and just other places, even right outside the city to tell this story.

And Nick Furcus, his wife was shot and killed.

He claimed there was an intruder who had come into the house and

Um, he goes to court and you, you were there and you talked about how the courtroom is packed with people who are supporting him.

People are on Heidi's side.

There was a lot of emotion just in that courtroom.
