PODCAST EXCERPT Greg   was   left   alone   to   deal   with   the   brunt   of   Catherine's   mood   swings, compulsive   behaviour   and   mental   illness.   His   friends   would   come   over and   hang   out   in   the   basement.   One   of   those,   was   his   childhood   friend Brian. Sometime    during    the    night    Brian,    who    was    intoxicated    broke    into Catherine's    home    by    crawling    through    the    basement    window    and walked in to her bedroom. In   September   Greg's   trial   began.   There   was   no   direct   evidence   linking Greg   to   his   mother's   murder,   but   he   was   found   guilty   of   second-degree murder and sentenced to life. In   1997   DNA   testing   techniques   had   greatly   improved,   and   evidence found   in   Catherine's   bathroom   was   sent   for   testing.   It   was   determined that    the    DNA    on    that    hair    belonged    to    Greg's    friend    Brian.    Police tracked him to Ontario and used an undercover police sting to trap him.

VICTIM: CATHERINE CARROLL FRAMED FOR MURDER Brian watched his friend Greg go to jail for murdering his mother. A murder he committed. He stayed silent for 11 years, and it was only after DNA freed Greg that a police sting finally put Brian behind bars.
