68: LIVE FREE OR DIE: Pamela Smart Asks The State Of New Hampshire For A New Trial Based On New Evidence
It's been a long road, but we're finally here. Pamela Smart's attorneys are filing a petition of Habeus Corpus asking for a new trial or at the very least resentencing and they've given me access to the petition. I've been investigating Pam's case for going on a decade and some of the work I did on the first season of The In Between Podcast became the basis for this Habeus. I'm always so proud of the work I do on The In Between Podcast, but this case has been my white whale and I'm so honored to be apart of these arguments.
I want to share what I can with you, so without further adieu, here are the five points Pam's case will hinge on.
PLEASE PLEASE share her story.
And if you like the work I do, please tip.
TO LISTEN TO SEASON ONE, start here.

67: NEW UPDATES in the Pamela Smart Story - Dark Week Revisit
It’s been more than thirty years since Pamela Smart, a 22-year-old media coordinator from Derry, New Hampshire, was convicted of plotting her husband’s murder. But the story isn’t over. In fact, it’s entering a new chapter.
Pamela’s legal team, led by attorney Matthew Zernhelt, has just filed a new habeas corpus petition — and some of the evidence behind it came directly from Mel's own investigation. Among the claims:
Inaccurate transcripts given to the jury — words allegedly spoken by Pam that were never actually audible on tape.
A defense attorney’s unauthorized admission of guilt, undermining her right to a fair defense.
Jurors influenced by the media, not the evidence.
Faulty jury instructions that failed to define deliberation and premeditation.
And a sentence—life without parole for an accomplice—that may have been unconstitutional under New Hampshire law.
Over the next few weeks, Mel will be breaking down these developments, including new expert findings from Marion Davidson and a Loyola University study confirming major transcript errors that went unnoticed for decades.

There’s the official story. And then there’s the truth.
The In Between is an investigative narrative podcast that digs into cases where the facts got buried, distorted, or deliberately ignored. Hosted by journalist and screenwriter Mel Barrett, each season unpacks one story that was never fully told, blending deep reporting, legal analysis, and raw personal narrative.
Mel doesn’t just rehash headlines—she goes digging. She’s spent over a decade uncovering new evidence in the Pamela Smart case, work that helped form the basis of a new habeas petition. In Season One, she revisits the trial that made Smart a national villain—and questions everything we thought we knew.
Season Two, From Victim to Accused: The Veronika Rodriguez Story, pulls back the curtain on a case where a 26-year-old Air National Guard member reported a sexual assault—and ended up the one in handcuffs. What happened next is more than a miscarriage of justice. It’s a warning.
This is the space between the crime and the courtroom, the headlines and the hidden truth. This is The In Between.
