good Where are you from originally? Where's that accent? I was

Arcadia, a little background.

It's kind of a funny thing amongst us shapers.

It's kind of the shaping capital of the world.

They were good old farm tractors, good old stuff.

And, uh, you know, I think it was just the evolution of trying to do something bigger than what you was in your hometown.

Our final case today is perhaps the most shocking and tragic of all.

James Joseph Richardson, born in 1935, was a family man working as a migrant farm worker in Arcadia, Florida with his wife, Annie Mae Richardson, and their expanse of seven children.

Their children ranged in age from the oldest being eight-year-old Betty down to two-year-old James, with a child born every year in between.

The middle children were Alice, Susie, Doreen, Vanessa, and Diane.

The case ended up going to trial where James was adamant that he was not only innocent, but that he would never hurt his children who he loved so much.

Even when Klein allegedly told him that if he confessed, he would be let off easy, James refused to confess.

Part of the evidence against him was his three cellmates who had been incarcerated with him at the Arcadia jail, who all claimed to have heard him admit to killing his children.

Pieces of the prosecution's evidence was given by Sheriff Klein.
