Summary

In July 2018, authorities were called to the property of Gary Farris, a prominent Atlanta attorney, for a report of human remains in a fire.

Now his rocky marriage is under a microscope as his wife Melody stands trial for his murder. This episode of the Court TV Podcast features opening statements from 10/7/2024 in The Burn Pile Murder Trial.
