The Case of Paula Roberts: Philip Willoughby

1983. Augusta, Maine. Part 2 - After David Willoughby was acquitted of the brutal abduction and murder of 21-year-old Paula Roberts, the public was furious. How could such a flagrant misstep of justice happen? Two people were responsible for Paula's murder. How did David get away? But the public wouldn't have to wait long, because right after David's acquittal came another trial: David's 21-year-old step-brother, Philip Willoughby. Neither men took responsibility for the crime. Philip insisted it was David—that the jury let the real killer walk free. With fingers pointing in every direction and criminal contempt charges coming down on uncooperative witnesses, will the jury find anyone guilty of murder at the center of this circus? Will Paula Roberts family get justice? This is part two of the story of Paula Roberts, and one of the most sensational murder trials in Maine's history.
