It was a brutal double homicide in a small New England town. In January of 2017, police found Christine Sullivan and Jenna Pellegrini dead underneath the porch of a home in Farmington, New Hampshire. Prosecutors depict Timothy Verrill, the accused murderer, as a paranoid drug dealer. They allege he was part of a drug trafficking operation with Sullivan and Dean Smoronk, the homeowner and her boyfriend. Verrill is accused of killing the two women because he believed that Pellegrini was a police informant. Defense attorneys maintain Verrill’s innocence and point to Dean as the possible killer. This episode of the Court TV Podcast features both sides’ opening statements in full as the Small-Town Secrets Murder Trial gets underway.
