A Murder at Christmas: Cecil Teesdale, 1937

Cecil and Doris Teesdale were always arguing; one morning after Cecil returned home from a party, Doris demanded to know where her husband had been all night. He refused to tell her - so she fetched a revolver... She shot her husband accidentally, she said. The police did not believe her... Did Doris Teesdale get away with murder? Only Doris and Cecil knew for certain - and he was dead. It all came down to whether or not the jury believed her account. Knowledge is one thing, proof another, of course, and Doris may have had the benefit of this....
