Pamela Smart | 91

In March 1991, a media circus descended on the normally quiet New Hampshire town of Exeter to witness a trial that some journalists were calling the sex, lies and murder case. The trial, which saw a young woman accused in the murder of her husband, was the first ever to be covered gavel to gavel live on US television. It was a landmark moment for cameras and the criminal justice system and marked the beginning of the true crime media obsession we know today. On this episode of History of the 90s we look back at the sensational murder trial of Pamela Smart and find out what has happened since the cameras went away.
