Jessie James Cummings

Jessie James Cummings

Jessie James Cummings was a polygamist who lived in Oklahoma with his two wives and family. He kept everyone under strict control through verbal and physical abuse. In 1991, Jessie made the decision that he wanted his half-sister Judy Moody Mayo dead. He accomplished this by pressuring his wives into helping him make that a reality. Then, Jessie murdered Judy's 11-year-old daughter Melissa.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss what is undoubtedly one of the most messed up family trees we have ever covered. This case is tragic but also fascinating for a number of reasons. How does a man get his wives to kill for him? This case came down to the testimony of Jessie's two wives, Sherry and Juanita, against him. And it was that testimony that caused him to be ultimately executed. Many people have wondered over the years if that alone was enough to put a man to death.
