Anjette and Ben Lyles are a young married couple with two children. Ben is a WW2 veteran, and together he and Anjette work in his family restaurant in Macon, Georgia.
When Ben sells the restaurant for below market value to settle a gambling debt, Anjette is furious. A few months after selling the restaurant, Ben gets very sick, very fast, and dies without doctors figuring out what killed him. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss the death of Ben Lyles as well as Anjette’s new husband, Buddy Gabbert, Anjette’s first mother-in-law, Julia Lyles, and Anjette’s daughter, Marcia.
Joe explains how Anjette Lyles got away with murder at first and what led to her ultimate arrest, conviction, and death sentence.
