TW: Child Murder

In the early morning hours of September 22, 2010, Christine
Perolini's world was shattered when her 13-year-old daughter ran
into her bedroom screaming, "Daddy's trying to hurt us!" Minutes
later, Christine's 4-year-old son, Blake Mitchell, was
unresponsive, and her husband, Joseph Anthony Mitchell, was
barricaded in another room—covered in blood with self-inflicted
stab wounds.

Joseph admitted to killing Blake and trying to murder his two
other children… but claimed he had no memory of any of it. His
defense? He was sleepwalking.

In this episode, we dive into the heartbreaking timeline, the
chilling 911 call, the controversial trial, and the shocking
verdict that left even the jury questioning what really happened
that night. Was this the rare case of a "sleepwalking killer," or
something far more sinister?
