David Graham and Diane Zamora were two high schoolers in love. Then David cheated on Diane and then they killed the girl he cheated with. It wasn’t until a year later, when both David and Diane went to military academies, that Diane confessed. Based on a true crime that we discuss in our final segment “The Real Murders of the Made-For-TV Movie Club Podcast.” (When released on DVD, this movie's title was changed to Swearing Allegiance.) #mftvmcpodcast
