Season 5, Episode 9
5/10
Highly Dubious Episode of 'Forensic Files'
11 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
This episode starts with a young woman leaving her family and marrying a deeply religious guy in Georgia. He wakes up one morning and finds her dead, with bruises on her body and haemorrahaging in her eyes. The community says the must have killed his wife. The episode is all about how, although it appeared on the surface as if he did, he didn't strangle her to death, because it turns out she was epileptic, and he had convinced her to stop taking her medication, and trusted in God to heal her. At the end, the authorities say how remarkable science is because it proved she wasn't strangled, she had just had a fatal epileptic seizure, and therefore her husband hadn't killed her. The thing is, her husband DID kill her, because he's the one who made her stop taking the medication that would have managed the epilepsy. Terrible episode of Forensic Files. Deeply disappointing.
