About this listen

Mary and John McCullough did everything in their power to help their adopted son, Christopher, as he struggled with mental illness and addiction. And when he lost physical custody of his son, their grandchild, they continued to support Christopher and their precious grandson. But on a hot August day in 2023, Christopher showed up to his parents' home with one thing in mind, MURDER. He attacked his parents, beating them severely. Mary died from the attack. John survived, but with emotional trauma that can never be erased. In this episode, the prosecutor who put Christopher behind bars for life, Melanie Shekita, walks host Chelsea Donovan through the dramatic trial that featured bizarre testimony from Christopher.
