The Cheshire Murders Page #2

Synopsis: In the quiet suburb of Cheshire, Connecticut, Jennifer Petit and her two young daughters were killed in a horrific home invasion; husband and father William Petit was the only one who escaped alive. This gripping film explores the events of that shocking triple homicide that rocked the town and set off a politically charged death-penalty trial. The result is a disturbing revelation of police failures and untold personal dramas that point out the biggest tragedy of all: the crime could have been prevented at many turns.

heard at least one of the girls

screaming from inside the house.

Those animals, what they did

to those poor people

of Cheshire,

I can't even believe that they're

gonna give them a trial.

What kind of laws do

we have in this state

where they don't just

execute those animals?

Well, Tony, the reaction

by the public certainly

is for that, but it is...

To destroy a family

the way those two did...

Heinous.

My verdict?

Fry 'em.

Hang 'em.

Do whatever you gotta do.

Make sure they ain't

gonna walk this earth again.

Can we switch?

Yup.

You need more?

Yeah. I'm gonna need more.

I don't think evil like this has

happened since In Cold Blood.

I really don't.

Not that I know of.

And we went from being a quiet, peaceful

town in New England to, overnight,

people installing alarm systems and

panic buttons and panic rooms.

People in town refer

to it as Cheshire's 9/11.

You know, life was one way

and then it's another.

God has promised to be with

us through thick and through thin.

All other ground

is indeed sinking sand.

Well, first of all, uh...

Thank you.

For all coming out today to

honor the memory of the girls.

I'd really like to

say thank you to

people from all over the state of

Connecticut and all over the country.

We've been

surrounded with love and

cards and flowers and prayer

from east to west

and north to south.

I met Jen at, uh, Children's

Hospital in Pittsburgh.

Before med.

She was a new nurse

and I was the know-it-all

third-year medical student.

I was trying to correct Jen

on how to take blood pressure

the correct way.

Since I had about 3 minutes

of experience at that point.

But it became clear

pretty quickly that, uh,

she knew more about pediatrics

and how to care for kids

than I had ever known.

One of the nice things...

Billy had never smelled smoke.

He had never seen a fire.

He had said that the only

thing he ever heard

of my sister was her, like,

pleading nicely with these two men,

"Can you please

let me get my purse,"

"or they'll know that

something is up at the bank."

He had his legs tied together and he

hopped up the outside basement steps.

And he said,

"But sometimes I wish.

"I would've just

gone to the inside

"because then maybe,

even if I had died in there,"

"I could've done something."

And I said, "No, Billy. You

couldn't have done anything."

"Attached to a pole with

your hands and feet tied

"in the basement with about

6 to 8, 3 to 4 inch"

"openings in your skull?"

And we knew that the police did not help

my brother-in-law out of the house.

So the chances that he lived,

surviving the blood loss,

are just miraculous in my mind.

Joining me

on the phone right now is.
