Darlie Routier - Former cheerleader Darlie Routier had always been proud of her good looks, which helped her marry a wealthy man and live in luxury. But after giving birth to three sons, she felt that motherhood was ruining her looks and her life, and she blamed her children. In 1996, she stabbed her sons, Devon, 6, and Damon, 5, with a carving knife. Then she wounded herself to convince police that an intruder had killed her sons. But in her account of the attack she contradicted herself. Despite her proclaimations of innocence, the 26 year old mother was tried and convicted in 1997 for killing her sons. Awaiting execution by lethal injection and with further investigations still proceeding, Darlie talks to Werner about her perspective on life and death, and looks back on the events which led her to be facing the death penalty.
