Women on Death Row tells the stories of America's most rarefied criminals: women who have been convicted of murder and sentenced to the ultimate punishmentâthe death penalty. Each episode profiles a harrowing crime and trial through exclusive interviews with the convicted women, witnesses, family members of victims, family members of the convicted women, attorneys, and law enforcement officials. The series also covers the appeals process, including resentencing in some cases, and looks at how new legislation in some states impacts the conditions under which the convicted women live in prison as they await their fate.
There is no Next Episode of Women on Death Row planned.
S1E4 - Kerry Lynn Dalton
On May 23, 1995, Kerry Lyn Dalton was sentenced to death for the torture and murder of Irene "Melanie" May. Melanie was last seen alive on June 26, 1988, and because she was a meth addict with no fixed address, police did little to investigate her disappearance. It wasn't until four years later that police arrested Kerry and two others after several witnesses told authorities that the three openly bragged about beating, stabbing, and injecting Melanie with battery acid before dismembering her body and burying her in the desert.
