The complicated marriage between a carpet salesman and a young mother comes to an end when one spouse stabs the other 193 times. On the surface it appears to be straight up murder, that is untill the details of the couple's background are revealed, calling into question the motive. Was it a coldblooded murder or justifiable homicide?
