Murder Sheet

Lucy Letby seemed to be a quiet, friendly nurse who was dedicated to her job working in a neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital in Chester, England. In 2023, she was convicted of killing multiple babies from June 2015 to June 2016 and attacking others. After an article advocating for her innocence appeared in the New Yorker, her case got even more controversial. But what does the evidence say? We spoke to true crime researcher Jessica Cash to find out.

The death of Friends star Matthew Perry last fall shocked his fans all over the world. But there were more shocks to come. An investigation revealed that the actor died as the result of taking ketamine-- and now a group of five people including "Ketamine Queen" Jasveen Sangha face criminal charges in the matter. We take a close look at the indictment and some of the other relevant legal documents filed in the case.

The Cheat Sheet is The Murder Sheet's segment breaking down weekly news and updates in some of the murder cases we cover.

We cover instances of carjacking, rape, and murder out of Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, and Utah. The first case deals with the atrocious death of a young mother who leapt into action to save her son from carjackers. The second is a shocking shooting of a Black woman by a law enforcement officer. One case is that of a high-profile murder case where a religious reference resulted in an overturned death sentence. And the last case involves legal wrangling over an overturned conviction.
