As a young boy, 11-year-old Collier Landry heard his father murder his mother in the dead of night.

Their father, Dr. John Boyle’s, murder trial was the trial of the decade -- a pregnant mistress, a secret house, a body buried under the floorboards, and a key witness, Collier, who faced his father and helped put him behind bars.
