The youngest woman on death row - Emilia Carr - Part 2

Today is part 2 of my chat with Emilia Carr, once the youngest woman on death row in the state of Florida. Emilia along with her co-defendant Joshua Fulgham was arrested tried and convicted for the kidnap and murder of Heather Strong, a mother of two from Mississippi and wife to Josh. Emilia has always maintained her innocents and has been fighting to clear her name since the murder occurred back in 2009.

Emilia had what can only be described as a horrendous childhood. Subjected to sexual abuse by her father from the age of 4 till she spoke out at 15 she was eventually placed in the care of the state along with her sister. Married at just 16 and pregnant with her first child Emilia would go on to have a number of, as she puts it, flings with many men, as well as three more children to different men.

Emilia would meet Josh one day in the front yard of one of her children's fathers home. A very volatile and violent man Josh was no stranger to police and would often be locked up after becoming violent towards Heather.

In 2009 Heather Strong would go missing just eight days after Josh is released from jail for pointing a shotgun at her during an argument. Detectives bring Josh in for questioning and its not long after that, they also bring in Emilia who is eight months pregnant. The days of interrogations begin and would conclude with a shocking admission from Josh, one that would change Emilia's life forever.
