Ep 19. Janice Bonnell

Janice Bonnell was a beloved mother, wife, and Sunday school teacher, until she was accused of murdering her husband, Robert Bonnell, in their home on Halloween night. In this episode of Snapped, viewers will get an inside look into the investigation and trial that followed, as well as hear from those who knew Janice and try to piece together what led to the alleged murder.

Robert Bonnell was a successful businessman and avid hunter, who was found dead in his home with a gunshot wound to the head. Initially, police suspected that he was the victim of a burglary gone wrong, but as they looked deeper into the case, evidence pointed to his wife, Janice. The couple's marriage had been rocky for some time, and Janice was known for her temper and confrontational nature.

As investigators dug into Janice's background, they uncovered a troubling pattern of behavior. She had a history of violence and had been arrested multiple times for assault in the past. In addition, she was said to have been unhappy in her marriage and had made comments to friends and family about wanting to leave her husband.

Despite her previous run-ins with the law and mounting evidence against her, Janice maintained her innocence throughout the trial. Her defense team argued that the prosecution's case was circumstantial and that there was no concrete evidence linking Janice to the murder. However, the jurors ultimately didn't buy it, and Janice was convicted of second-degree murder.

The episode features interviews with investigators, prosecutors, and Janice's family and friends, who share their thoughts on the case and their experiences with the accused. Additionally, the show explores the impact of the crime on Robert's family, particularly his children, who were left to grapple with the loss of their father and the shocking revelation about their stepmother.

As with all episodes of Snapped, viewers will be left to draw their conclusions about the case. Was Janice Bonnell a cold-blooded killer or a victim of a flawed justice system? And what was the true motive behind the murder of Robert Bonnell? Tune in to find out.
