The Murder of Julie Jensen (Part 2)

This week is part-two of a two-part story about the murder of Julie Jensen, a beloved mother, sister and friend. Julie feared her husband Mark Jensen would one day take her life, and she went so far as to write a letter that said as much. But would the letter even make it into the trial, and without it, would the prosecution have enough to put Mark away?
