American Criminal Season 22: The Murder of Carol Stuart

Robbery gone wrong, or cold-blooded murder?


In fall of 1989, Charles and Carol Stuart were expecting their first child. It was the happiest time of their lives. But on the night of October 23rd, they’d just left a birthing class when they were attacked by a man with a gun. Miraculously, Charles survived the encounter, but Carol wasn’t so lucky. And in the aftermath of that horrific crime, Boston would be a city divided.
