Sarah Jo Pender: The Female Charles Manson Case Explained

Sarah Jo Pender: The Female Charles Manson Case Explained

They called her the Female Charles Manson. In October 2000, two people were shot to death in an Indianapolis drug house. Sarah Jo Pender bought the shotgun that morning at Walmart. Her boyfriend Richard Hull pulled the trigger. She got 110 years, he got 75. Now the prosecutor who convicted her says he was wrong. But here's the thing about Sarah Jo Pender: everywhere she goes, people end up doing things they wouldn't normally do. She manipulated a prison guard into breaking her out. She lived as a fugitive for months. And now she's one hearing away from walking free. This is about intelligence as a weapon, about the difference between pulling a trigger and aiming the gun, and about whether 25 years is justice or just good patience.
