Episode Details

A judge has shut down Clifton George’s “loss of control” defense in the brutal murder of his partner Annabel Rook, ruling there’s insufficient evidence to meet the legal standard. George, who pleaded guilty to manslaughter and arson, stabbed Rook 22 times after she ended their 10-year relationship and asked him to leave. Now, the jury will only decide whether he intended to kill her — no more excuses. Prosecutors say his rage was fueled by betrayal and a short temper, while George claims he doesn’t remember the stabbings. The trial moves forward with murder as the only remaining charge.
