48 HOURS on CBS. The episode is called, "Scared to Death" that I never saw.
Warren County, Ohio on April 11, 1995.
Jim found his wife Vicky Barton shot to death inside their ranch
home. He was a Lieutenant with the local sheriff's department. The
key to this murder case was Jim's 911 Emergency call. Police zeroed
in on his words, “Gotta call Phelp man...,” Jim says he said
instead, “I gotta call for help man...,”
An arrest was made in 1998 of Gary
Henson. He claimed he knew who shot Vicky. He said it was his
half-brother Will Phelps. It was only supposed to be a robbery, but
Will panicked and shot Vicky. He later committed suicide over guilt.
Gary also claimed that Jim hired Will to scare Vicky into moving to
town. So that Jim could be hired as Chief of police. Jim called
that claim “absurd” because Gary was a compulsive criminal liar.
Jim was arrested in 2004 for hiring
Will to murder his wife. He was convicted of involuntary manslaughter
and sentenced to 11 years in prison. Three men who were in prison
claimed that Gary Henson said he lied about Will Phelps. This was
after Jim was convicted. The jurors believed criminal Gary over three
other criminals. (You be the judge on this case. I believe Jim was
wrongly convicted. Those jurors got it wrong. Unbelievable...!).
