When Paula was found dead in their garage in an apparent suicide, the tragedy shook the community - only to turn to shock and disbelief when the couple's complex lives were publicly revealed. As a result, Eddie was charged with her murder, found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. That saw the start of a 17-year fight to clear his name, in which he uncovered profound problems around the evidence.
