In this midweek episode of Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide, we take a journey into the life of former Army Captain Adrianna Jean Veal who, one day lost it, and ambushed her Ex boyfriend and attempted murder. In Killeen, Texas, police discover a man shot in the chest. The investigation quickly spirals into the unexpected when the perpetrator, Adrianna Veal, is captured.
With a history of service and a looming promotion to Major, Adrianna's life is a stark contrast to the crime she commits against Timothy Custer, her on-and-off boyfriend and a dedicated Army Chief Warrant Officer.
Adrianna's calculated break-in and subsequent attack, carried out with a stolen gun and a hammer, reveal a premeditated attempt to end a life.
As the courtroom drama ensues, we hear the victim's account and delve into the mind of a woman whose academic accolades and military rank could not shield her from the grip of violent passion.
The defense paints a picture of a commendable life marred by a few fatal minutes, while the prosecution demands justice for a crime that not only endangered a life but sought to tarnish a reputation with false accusations. Poll: Should Adriana Veal have been granted probation based on her background, or was the life sentence proposed by the prosecution more fitting for her crime?
